Lake Keitele is the second largest lake in central Finland. It begins from Viitasaari and ends to äänekoski. The quality of water is excellent and water is clear. The area of lake Keitele on the side of Viitasaari also belongs to the fishing ground. The town of Viitasaari divides lake Pohjois-Keitele in two parts. Ylä-Keitele consists of Pihkurinselkä and Paanalanselkä, which are both deep and have only few islands. There are plenty of vendace in the lake and, which means that lake trout inhabit the same area.The best time to fish lake trout is in the evening when vendace come to the surface. There are many trawlers on Pihkuriselkä. You can fish pike near the rushes of the lake. On the east side of the northern part of lake Keitele there are many open lakes of which the largest one is Kokkoselkä. The waterway of the rapid Kärnänkoski empties in the north into lake Keitele. In the east there is the long and bay which is an excellent place to catch pike. There are many fishy ranges of rocks on the open lakes and there are a lot of trout. There are buoys on lake Keitele. It is possible to get old charts of the area, but you have to be careful with them, since the depths have been written down using the non-metric system. New charts should be available in the near future. There are a lot of excellent harbours and places for having a brake on lake Pohjois-Keitele and all of them are equipped with lean-ons. There are also many launching places for boats. Lake Muuruejärvi is big and it is situated in wilderness between the rapids Huopanankoski and Keihärinkoski. The depth of the lake varies a lot. Therefore, you should have map with depth contour lines and also an echo sounder if possible. It is possible to catch lake trout and pike perch on the open lake. There are rushes near the shores of lake Muuruejärvi and they are excellent places to fish. Due to its excellent location, lake Muuruejärvi will be developed into a first-class trolling lake with the help of fish plantings and catch limitations. A launching place for boats was built at Koivusalmi in the summer of 1999. There are also fireplaces with lean-ons at the lake.
