Nana10 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 In Finland we have many lakes all over, and every where. At winters in north we have really good opportunities to go ice fish. The best lakes would be Saimaa, Päijänne, Inarilake, Pielinen, and my favorite Oululake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Riser Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Nana10 -Besides the fish pictures, we would love to see pictures of some of the scenery there in the background of where you fish. Also I would like to see some of the houses, cottages and other architecture of your area if possible. If not too much to ask could you also share some pictures of your fishing equipment and hooks/lures sometime?I love the Finish foods and used to eat a meal regularly at the Hoito in Thunder Bay Ontario when I worked part time at two of the clinics up there. There is a great Finish culture that is very much alive all the way up the north shore into Ontario Canada. Fishing is certainly a strong part of that culture and I enjoy that aspect as well with some friends in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverChuckNorris Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I dated a Fin who was over here as an Au Paire (nanny) many moons ago so always kept an interest in Finland since. There's some great videos on YouTube about ice fishing there. Welcome to HSO Nana, great to have some international flavor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowthenJoe Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I am also part Finn. Got a wood burning sauna in my backyard! Would love to see some pictures of the landscape out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWiser Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I used to deer hunt in a little town (if you can call it that) in Wisconsin that was called Oulu! Did some fishing up there too, but not ice fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
