You're talking about "tuulastus". The translation is (I think) torch fishing.

Another nice style of fishing is "kolkkaaminen". That would be knocking !
There you're on a glass like ice at fall time near the shore, with a mace. The fish (mostly burbots) stay still while you're approaching it carefully. And then..... BANG! The last problem is to get the fish up from under the ice before it recovers !
nah, tuulastus is more my liking - vicious, sneaky and painless - you put the harpoon directly through pike's head - no pain and the soup is gooooooooooood

Dammmit, Antti, now I REALLY wanna go !

A friend of mine in Brooklyn goes fishing in the Atlantic Ocean - they catch 150-200 pounds blue fin tuna and stuff - that's also kinda cool. But its a LOT of fish - 150-200 pounds - to bring home, so I've never really bothered to go with him. But I've seen pictures of some of the fish they've caught - those bastards are bigger than ME!

Me and my friend "Chief" (you'll get it until you see him in the pics ) went flyfishing today on a local small river once again. Had some great time, and fish too.
The weather was cloudy and wet, but that really didn't bother us. Fishing, talking, some coffee in the middle and more fishing...
The river locates only 15 minutes drive from my home, so I think there are occasionally benefits too living in the backwoods .

We took some pics as usual. Nothing artistic, really. Just quick snapshots here and there .

This thread doesn't have any special purpose, just felt I could share it.

The weather was dull:


Doing the thing (me in this pic):


"Talking to me?":


Chief casting:


Couple of lousy transplanted (sorry don't know the right word) rainbow trouts:

Antti, this thread had a special purpose...dealing with busy schedule, just realized that I need to learn how to press that "pause" button

Nice story. Keep it comin'

Nice to hear!
It's easy to press the pause, it's next to play and fast forward (which is the most used nowadays I'm afraid ). Just be careful you don't press the "stop"!

He wanted to stay in car because of bad weather . But there he was waiting and anxiously peeking in the rear window when we got back!

Excellent pics! And clean looking fish.

I got some casting time at our cottage (on Kemi?nsaari) on Monday evening and Tuesday morning, but came up empty. The weather down here has not been the best for ANY water activities.
