Locations

1. Koskenalusjärvi (motor trolling area)

Thanks to its large lake-like water area, Koskenalusjärvi is excellently suited to motor trolling. Several boats will fit in the area simultaneously. The launching spot for the boats is in the immediate vicinity of the location, by the Inkeroinen bridge crossing Kymijoki. The launching slope is built of concrete; it facilitates the launching of even large trolling boats. It is possible to catch several different species of fish at the location, including salmon, sea trout, pike-perch and pike. Good catch spots: the Inkeroinen-Anjala road bridge and the spots above and below it; the east bank (middle section); the west bank (middle section); the midstream area of the south-north axis. Depth in the area: 1.5 to 10 m.

2. Koskenalusjärvi (spinning area)

Of the two power plant branches of Koskenalusjärvi, one (owned by Kemijoki Oy) is located west of the lake, a 5-minute car ride from central Inkeroinen. In the area there is the popular, historic Anjala manor museum and café with its services, as well as the Anjala youth centre with accommodation facilities and the natural resource unit of the Kouvola Region Vocational College. The stretch of fishing beach is around 200 metres in length. Pike-perch, sea salmon, sea trout, rainbow trout and other fish are found in the area. Catch spots: The lower part of the dam structure; the entire middle of the stream; the lower slope and wall of the casting rock; the beach of the middle island opposite (at the planted fir trees); the tip of the middle island and the edge of the stream starting there (for 70 metres); the lower part of the rock where the gravelly ground begins; and the lower tip of the cape. Depth: 3 to 9 m.

3. The area between Koskenalusjärvi and Sulavirta (motor trolling and harling area)

Between the designed fishing areas of Koskenalusjärvi and Sulavirta, there is a wide and slow-running stretch of river around two kilometres long. This area is designed for motor trolling use, due to the low amount of buildings and the breadth of the river. Rainbow trout, pike-perch, perch and pike are found in the area. The pike and pike-perch can reach a weight of 5 or 10 kilograms. The location is deep, making it suitable for diving wobblers used in trolling. There are no rocks in the area, making it ideal for beginners. Catch spots: The west and east banks (deepening sharply just after the banks).

4. Sulavirta (motor trolling and harling area)

Sulavirta is a neck area joining Piirteenkoski below (the strong-streaming, mirror-like area above the rapids). It is located a few kilometres’ boat journey from central Inkeroinen and Koskenalusjärvi. Part of the area is built, making it suited for rowboat fishing; it does not cause noise or other disturbance to the residents. Rowers must beware of going too near the very strong-streaming Piirteenkoski neck area. Sea salmon, rainbow trout and asp are found in the area. Catch spots: Upper part (middle rocks and east side), middle rocks (lower side) and the Piirteenkoski neck area.

5. Piirteenkoski (motor trolling and harling area)

Piirteenkoski is a strong-streaming stretch below the Sulavirta neck area, forming a rapid area of around 200 metres in length. The area resembles such rivers in Northern Finland as Kemijoki, Torniojoki and Tenojoki. It is a very impressive and natural stretch of stream. This is a motor trolling area. The landscape of Piirteenkoski has been preserved almost in its natural state. Pike-perch, sea salmon, sea trout, rainbow trout and asp are found in the area. Motor trolling is not allowed between 10 PM and 6 AM. Catch spots: The east bank, the neck area, the west side of the middle stream, the slower stream in the lower part (west side).
