Comfortable and stable McKenzie drift boats allow you to Fly fish or spin with ease. There is something undeniably special about floating a river. Your perspective changes as you slip quietly down stream. You glide easily from place to place, anticipating the next riffle, the next flat, the next tailout. After a while, you realize that you have left the rushing onslaught of daily life behind and in its place there is only the river and the wild brown trout.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <font size="2" face="Verdana">McKenzie Drift boats have been used in Canada, North America and New Zealand for decades and now those are at the Kapeenkoski rapids, Finland. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Verdana"> <span style="color:blue">Target Species</span> Large Brown trout and good size Grayling abound in the rivers of Central Finland.</font></p><p class="MsoBodyText"><font size="2" face="Verdana"> <span style="color:blue">Accommodation </span> In local holiday cottages, all equipped with modern conveniences or at Sokos Hotels in Jyväskylä.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Verdana"> <span style="color:blue">Suggested Items</span> Personal tackle, suitable outdoor clothing, camera, binoculars, sunglasses and sunscreen (insect repellent during June recommended).</font></p></td></tr></table><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td width="50%"><img src="image/image004.jpg" alt="image" width="448" height="256" /></td><td width="50%" valign="top"><div align="justify"><p><span style="font-family:Arial;color:blue"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Fishing Gear </font></span><font size="2" face="Verdana">Both the fishing waters and the fish in Central Finland are of "medium" size, and therefore you should avoid using too heavy gear in order to best enjoy these sporting fish. The most common gear for fly fishing here is floating line; AFTMA 4 to 7, and rods about 9 feet long. The best flies resemble the various development phases of the caddis fly, and lures should resemble small vendace, roach, perch and bullhead. Also spin fishing requires only light-weight equipment, a 6 to 8-foot rod, a 0.25 mm line plus a collection of smallish baits like spinners, spoons and wobblers in the lure box. </font></p></div></td></tr></table><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:blue"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Suggested Clothing</font></span><font size="2" face="Verdana"> Boots, hat, warm clothing to suit a variety of weather conditions, rain gear.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Verdana"> <span style="color:blue">Min.
