Make sure you have equipment suitable for heavy river fishing. A strong and flexible rod, a large reel and a thick line are necessary to catch large salmon.
Fish responsibly and follow regional fishing rules. This includes bottom dimensions and any catch limits.
Use flies and lures suitable for river conditions and salmon preferences. Popular lures in Tornionjoki include e.g. salmon flies, spoons and waddles. In terms of colors, silver, blue and green are often effective.
Observe river flows and learn to 'read' water. Salmon often move in certain types of currents and on the edges of the deep.
Stay in the boat as still and still as possible so as not to scare the fish away.
Make sure you have a life jacket and know what to do in an emergency. River currents can be strong.
Fishing in Tornionjoki often uses a lens, i.e. a weight, which sinks the lure to the desired depth.
