Juutuanjoki 1578

Permits become available on 18 May 2020 at 9 AM.

Juutuanjoki River (Juvduujuuhâ in Sami) runs into Lake Inarijärvi in the middle of the town of Inari after flowing for 12 kilometres from Lake Solojärvi. The river is one of the most renowned fly fishing destinations in our country thanks to its breath-taking scenery and the especially sizable trout specimens rising upstream from Lake Inarijärvi. Juutuanjoki is also an excellent grayling river. Now the permit area of Juutuanjoki also contains several river destinations in the rivers that the trout rising to Juutuanjoki use for spawning. The Juutuanjoki permit area is now divided into six different zones (pools). 

ZONE 1. Juutuanjoki: Alakoski Rapids. Road 4 bridge - neck of the rapids. 

  • 1.6.–31.7.
