MUONIO, THE LAND OF FELLS AND WILD SALMON
The fishing grounds in Muonio have been famous throughout the ages. Since 16th century the fishermen have punted over 250 km upriver to their fishing places. There are fishing areas available for spoon baiting, fly fishing, as well as for salmon fishing. A sightseeing that interests even a fisherman is a trip to see the old fishing huts of Keimiöniemi.
