Oarsman Fly Fishing

tietoja Oarsman Fly Fishing

Oarsman Fly Fishing is an owner-operated guiding service based in Finnish Lapland, specializing in multi-day wilderness float trips where fly fishing and river travel are inseparable. The core of the operation is riverrunning fly fishing: drifting remote Arctic rivers by raft, fishing for migratory trout and grayling in lightly pressured water, and covering long, untouched stretches of wilderness. Days are shaped by the river itself—long floats, walking wild banks, reading complex water, and navigating whitewater—creating an experience that goes far beyond a traditional day trip. Guiding is personal and hands-on. From rowing rapids to choosing flies and setting up camp, everything happens at river pace. These trips attract experienced fly anglers as well as those looking to step into more demanding water. The fishing itself is technical and often challenging, focused on migratory (lake-run) trout that are powerful, selective, and far from an easy catch—fish found in only a handful of places in Europe. Responsibility and sustainability are central to how Oarsman Fly Fishing operates. Trips are run with low guest numbers, minimal impact camps, and a strong respect for the recourses. Catch-and-release practices, careful fish handling, and an emphasis on awareness over numbers help ensure that these rivers and fish remain healthy for the future. As a guide working alone and on the same waters year after year, long-term stewardship of the river is not a concept, but a necessity. In addition to multi-day float trips, Oarsman Fly Fishing offers seasonal fly fishing experiences, including coastal sea trout fishing in the spring and stillwater fly fishing in September. These trips follow the same philosophy—quiet water, wild surroundings, and thoughtful guiding.
