One night trekking/Finland

[JaniFIN]

We went packrafting with Vili. More trekking, less fishing, but littlebit anyway, becouse there is possiple catch BIG redfins.

That lake is 15km around, and there is about 10km beach/sandbank. Dark but clear water, ant from home to there is only 30km drive.

We start trip and packing stuff on packraft, and paddling about 3 hours. There was many shallow sandbanks, that we need pull packrafts over them, or paddling around, was also windy. We saw one ospray quite close.

Finally we arrived to area where is allowable make openfire. There was not anyone and we put first our tent to good place. Then arrived single traveller and soon one pair and make them own "camps". 

We made fire with Vili and done some  lunch. Then to fishing with rafts. Wind was gone and was really calm. First spot nothing, next spot some baits, and hooked couple small redfins. Then start light rain and we  move to 3th spot, from there some small redfins, but nothing bigger. Vili landing to camp before me and made midnight swimming under blue and cloudy sky. 

I allso made my "evening shower" on lake, and then we get sleep.

Morning we did sleep late, and when we wake up, other was allready gone. Was rainy morning and forecast say that later coming thunderstorm, so we packing our stuff and paddling back to start point.

Nice trip, even catch anything bigger. Have to go later again, nice place swimming allso, really lot sand beachs, shallow, and allso possiple catch big redfins and big white fishs.

Thanks @JaniFIN that looks so much fun and Vili will remember these trips with his dad.

Love that you always wear the original fishraider hat. Sadly we do not even have one.

Great report Jani, not for the fishing, but that you both got out on an adventure together. Moments like that are memories for the future. Beautiful clean countryside to be out in.

Looks like an awesome trip! It's a good reminder that we don't have to go very far to experience nature and remoteness 😌
