I am a 32-year-old keen fisherman and entrepreneur. I started as a fishing guide on the Teno River (Tana River) when I was 13 years old, fishing its tributaries and mountain lakes. Fly and lure fishing from the shore was an important form of fishing before I was old enough to go out on the river by boat alone. In our family, 13 was the age limit for traveling by boat alone. I fish in many ways in the Utsjoki area and especially in Vetsikko, I have done it every summer for as long as I can remember.
