River Könkämäeno and small tributaries - Grayling and trout!

River Könkämäeno and small tributaries located only 20km from the house!

The River Könkämäeno is one of Finland`s best large grayling and trout river. It is fed by the Lake Kilpisjärvi and many smaller tributary rivers on its way down south from the fells of North-West Lapland.
