The Archipelago is a magnificent fishing site

In terms of fishing, the most significant area in Southern Finland is the Baltic Sea Archipelago. The archipelagos of the Archipelago Sea and the Gulf of Finland form the largest archipelago area in Europe. The area, shaped by tens of thousands of islands, provides opportunities to go after freshwater fish like pike, zander and perch in a marine environment.

With its breathtaking beauty, the Archipelago provides anglers with endless opportunities. There are enough new spots to keep you busy every day of the year. Unfortunately, one lifetime is not enough to test all the hot spots of the Archipelago.
