Trolling is an effective method to fish Brown trout on the largest rapids in Central Finland.
Areas above rapids, above and below stones, under fallen trees and backflows are excellent Brown trout lodges. Places deep enough and sheltered places are excellent. Current does not have to be too swift in a lodge. The rises uncovers the habitat of the Brown trout.
Brown trout is active in darkness. The best time to catch Brown trout in summer are the darkest hours of the night. It is possible to catch Brown trout also during the day in autumn and spring.
Shallow-running lures of irritating colours, which imitates the bait fish, are use for Brown trout on rapids in Central Finland. It is also possible to use weighed lures to reach the bottom on big rivers.
