Ice fishing experience with Backpacker Helsinki Tour
Description
On Lake Bodom, the largest in the Helsinki region, located just 25 minutes from central Helsinki, I invite you to an ice fishing initiation using the Pilkki, the Nordic fishing rod! Once there we will walk on the lake to find the ideal place where there is the best chance of catching fish. I will then explain how to make a hole in the ice and how to use the pilkki. Then it's up to you! You will be ready to catch lots of fish! At the end, in a Laavu, the traditional refuge, I will make a fire to be able to grill the makkara, the traditional sausages. There is also an option for vegetarians. I will also serve you a delicious glögi as well as piparri, traditional cookies.

Bathrooms limited. Didn’t catch any fish but the experience was wonderful. Fireside Finnish sausage was tasty. Not a big licorice fan but our guide had some for us to try and it was surprisingly tasty.
We can't express our gratitude for David's kindness and knowledge of ice fishing 🎣 He made our experience memorable and fun. And we actually caught a fish 🐟 Highly recommend his tour.
Absolutely worthwhile experience! Super friendly guide, all equipment provided plus food to prepare over a fire, and home made Glögi. Had a lovely time, great memory!

Those words mean a lot for me. I'm glad to hear your enjoyed this ice fishing tour.
We had a great time. Ice fishing was super fun although we didn’t catch anything we still enjoyed the experience. It was great to do something so unique. Afterwards David cooked us some sausages and some other treats which were super scrummy. Would 100% go again. The lake where we went was also beautiful and for us it was amazing to be stood on a frozen lake.
Thanks you so much for your feedback Hayley. Yes, though it was quite windy :) we've still succeeded to get one fish (perch) ! All the best.
We liked the guide, he was friendly and allways helped, when we needed him. The landscape was beautiful.
Thanks for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. It was a perfect fishing day with lot of fishes... Many perches and one pike !
