Autumn Winds Follow
  
      This Indian Summer

The protection of trouts in running waters is now on in the rivers, where trouts spawn and increase naturally. For flyfishermen there is a lot of put-and-take waters open, specially in Southern Finland. It is a pity, that many excellent old troutwaters still are only put-and-take. Who wants to flyfish natural born fishes, has to go fishing pikes in the sea and lakes. Of course there is many nice lakes with whitefishes to catch.

Rod and reel fishermen will have a very long open water season this year, because the water temperatures are very high after this indian summer. In the sea-area surface temperature is still about 20 centigrades, when normally it is under 15 at this time of the year. Pikes are now in the hitting mood. There is rumours of good catches in Houtskari and Inio areas. When water temperature is under 12 centigrades, will the seatrout season begin, too.

The winds of autumn can be unexpectable. The termsurffishing does not mean fishing in heavy storms. It is dangerous to go out for fishing to outer rocks in stormy weathers. When  the windy weather is over, the swells stay still on. that is the time to go surffishing for seatrouts.  Now, it is Important  to check up and to improve the safety equipments of your boat. Perhaps you have forgotten some important things in the boathouse, because the summer was perfectly nice.

Use common sense while fishing with boat this time of the year. Tight Lines!
