The High Season Is On in Northern Karelia

The River Saramo
The River Saramo is fished around the year.
In the summertime flies and lures swirve
into the dark waters of the meandering river;
during the winter six inch drills grind holes
into the ice coating the backwaters.

In Pursuit of Fish
For the vacation period of 4.8.-10.8,
I anticipated the days to be that of
experiencing the beautiful Finnish scenery,
as well as, battling with wild
fish.
