Kemihaara recreational fishing destination is situated in the upper reaches of the Kemijoki River from Uuraojansuu to Kemihaara Bridge. The permit area is an approximately 11 kilometres long stretch of river waters. Only fly fishing gear can be used when fishing in Kemihaara permit area.
Most of the area consists of rapids sections both big and small that can be waded almost in their entirety. There is one hut on the riverbank. A forest lorry road runs on the Eastern side of the river, but it is in poor condition and may not be accessible to regular street vehicles.
1 June – 10 September.
Check the permit terms for exceptions to the fishing period.
