Recreational and lure fishing areas, licences

Konnus rapids

The rapids are located directly next to the Konnus canal; the area consists of several rapids areas interspersed with small islands. Jetties have been built for fishing, as the beaches are fairly deep for wading. A boat is the surest way to catch fish.

Fish species: brown trout, grayling, sander, pike, whitefish, ide, and perch.
New trout are introduced each summer.

Campfire facilities, lean-to picnic spot, and parking space available.
The cafe and restaurant Konnustupa is open during the summer, tel +358 (0)40 195 2500
