Character of the water

Ylinenjärvi lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

Moderately deep (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Ylinenjärvi FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Ylinenjärvi

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Ylinenjärvi. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Whoever fishes Ylinenjärvi regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
