Winter Pike Fishing
6-Hour Ismete Ice Fishing Adventure – Sysmäjärvi, Outokumpu
A thrilling yet relaxing winter experience on the frozen lakes of Eastern Finland.
Overview
Your day begins with a meet-up at a pre-agreed location. Transportation from Joensuu Airport or Joensuu Railway Station can be arranged upon request. After a short briefing, we head onto the ice of beautiful Lake Sysmäjärvi in Outokumpu — travelling either on foot or by snowmobile depending on conditions.
What Is Ismete Fishing?
Ismete is a traditional and exciting Northern winter fishing method where baited lines are set under the ice with tip-up traps. When a fish takes the bait, the flag snaps up — creating a moment full of suspense and adrenaline. It’s a perfect blend of calm, quiet moments in nature and the thrill of big pike encounters.

A delicious campfire-cooked meal served on the ice
