Finland	FLY FISHING MIDDLE FINLAND Winter fishing is very limited because of the very cold weather but when we do go we use streamers like Muddler Minnows and Zonkers. In Spring I use stonefly Larva and adult imitations as well as Muddler Minnows and Zonkers. In Summer I use Sedge imitations, pupa and larva, Nalle Puh (for dry) and small fry streamers. In the Fall I use Hydropsyche Larva, red tag or equivalent, leeches, Muddler Minnows and Zonkers. Juna Pakkanen, Finland SOUTHERN FINLAND FLY FISHING The flies I use depends a lot when and what I'm fishing for . I live in Southern Finland and I have a big variety of different type of water here. I mostly fish in the sea (the Finnish Gulf I believe you call it) where the target is sea trout. There I use streamers that imitate Baltic herring hook size 2-4. Sometimes I go for shrimp imitations of so called fantasy flies. Jock Scott types of tube flies. Then we have some large lakes which are quite shallow, there we fish for grayling and salmon. Small dry flies of all sorts, ants and other terrestrials in sizes 8-12. We have a couple of good salmon rivers here in southern Finland, for example the Kymi river where salmon and seatrout still spawn from the sea. There I fish with reddish or dark tube flies and large double or trebles. Osar Nyholm LAPPLAND FISHING I fish in Finland's Lappland Nuorttiriver. I use hook size 10 flies such as Butcher, Brown Palmer, March Brown, Zulu Brown Spiders, Royal Coachman. Jarmo Saariniva, Helsinki, Finland
