Brown TroutLand: Central Finland with Jani Himanko
Episode 123 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – July 25, 2024. Our destination is the Troutland region of central Finland with Hall of Fame fly angler, Jani Himanko, owner of the world famous Kellankoski Lodge.
Our destination is the Troutland region of central Finland with Hall of Fame fly angler, Jani Himanko, owner of the world famous Kellankoski Lodge.
Central Finland is home to some of the best fly fishing in Europe and the happiest people on the planet, not to mention brown trout the size of your leg. As Jani says, we don’t take pictures of 20” fish.
A 25-year veteran of the industry, Jani writes for local hunting and fishing magazines and was inducted to the Finnish Fishing Hall of Fame in 2023. He makes the case for Finland and the famous baitfish hatch, plus stories of Arctic char and sea run browns, Russian helicopters and the Kota Peninsula, and fly fishing Greenland and Norway. Bonus: the famous surfboard fly and why you should drink Loncaro.
