When brown trout feed

Brown trout are a cold-water fish: the best spells are spring from ice-out to early June and autumn from September until the closed season begins. Overcast weather and a small rise in flow after rain are often best. The app's flow data from the nearest SYKE station tells you when the rapids are fishable.

How the guide works

Recommendations come from Eräkaveri's fishing guide, which picks lures by species and season. In the app the guide combines with the bite forecast and Where the fish are, which points to the species' depth zone on your water.

Legal minimum sizes, closed seasons and permit areas are always checked from official sources.

Frequently asked questions

Does the recommendation change with the weather?

Yes in the app: the conditions coach adjusts colour and depth from today's weather and water temperature. This page shows the season's baseline.
