Hundreds of years ago the lake was already providing whitefish and trout for the local peasants in winter. In the olden days people fished to keep hunger from the door, but nowadays it is the thrill of the catch that motivates people to get out onto the ice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In addition to the indigenous fish species, rainbow trout can also be caught in some lakes. Enough perch to make a fish soup can be caught in any lake, but the crafty fisherman can, if lucky, land quite a sizeable whitefish.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;yes&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; anchor=&#8221;perch&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image=&#8221;348692&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(153,204,255,0.5)&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;50&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column el_id=&#8221;lumihauska&#8221;][no_elements_holder number_of_columns=&#8221;two_columns&#8221;][no_elements_holder_item background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.5)&#8221; item_padding=&#8221;0px 20px 0px 20px&#8221; aligment=&#8221;left&#8221; vertical_alignment=&#8221;middle&#8221; enable_hover_effect=&#8221;no&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221; item_padding_1300_1600=&#8221;0px 20px 0px 20px&#8221; item_padding_1000_1300=&#8221;9% 4% 2% 4%&#8221; item_padding_768_1000=&#8221;10% 5% 10% 5%&#8221; item_padding_600_768=&#8221;10% 5% 10% 5%&#8221; item_padding_480_600=&#8221;15% 5% 15% 5%&#8221; item_padding_480=&#8221;25% 5% 15% 5%&#8221; elemnts_holder_frame=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Searching for perch *<\/h3>\n<p>Ice fishing, or as we say pilkki, is a popular hobby in Finland.
