A fishing boat in Lake Miekojärvi in Pello in western Lapland

The Lake Miekojärvi is called the Pearl of the Arctic Circle since the lake is an excellent fishing place with a very clear water and since it is also crossed by the Arctic Circle line. Pello is the Fishing Capital of Finland: In Pello you can pike fishing in Miekojärvi lake and salmon fishing in Tornio / Torne River. Photo by Jouko Sirkkala (Lapland Wild Fish).
