Heikki Viitanen Eräretki kalaan is a book that guides you into the interesting world of fishing trips. Fishing trips are discussed, starting from angling trips or day trips to forest lakes to slightly more demanding overnight trips, and then moving on to trips lasting several nights, long fishing hikes in Lapland or demanding ice fishing trips lasting several nights in harsh winter conditions. There is an example of each type of trip, which presents the necessary equipment, food, break or accommodation solutions, what and how to pack in a backpack or rucksack, why each piece of equipment is included in the first place, and so on. Due to their hobby, a fisherman almost always has more to carry than a mere hiker. Rods, lures and other fishing equipment take up a large portion of the packing capacity of a backpack or rucksack, so it is not necessarily worth going on a fishing trip based on the instructions of hiking guides alone. On the other hand, books focused on fishing usually fail to take into account the requirements that hiking brings (for example, transporting rods in the countryside, etc.). • Instructions for finding a good hiking destination. Where you can fish, what permits are needed, how to find a good fishing spot in Finland.
- Instructions for catching different fish species at different times of the year.
- Accommodation tips
- How to get your catch home, or how to handle your catch in the countryside.
