Fishing Levi: Summer Guided Angling Adventure in Lapland
Spend a day under the midnight sun with a professional guide, fishing Lapland’s lakes and rivers near Levi. This full-day guided trip supplies gear, permits, local knowledge, and a chance at pike, trout, grayling, and perch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start early or late for calmer water
Wind can pick up midday; the best casting windows are early morning or late evening during summer’s long daylight.
Bring waterproof footwear
Shore-casting and short wades are common — sturdy waders or waterproof boots protect against cold, wet feet.
Protect against insects
Bring EPA-approved insect repellent and a head net during calm, warm conditions to avoid bites when casting from shore.
Follow guide instructions on boat safety
Life jackets and moving between boat and shore require attention — listen to the guide for your safety and the fish’s welfare.
