Yövesi meeting 2009


Today we had the Yövesi meeting in Lake Saimaa in Finland. The fishing was difficult and of the nineteen boats that participated only four of them caught salmon. We had a minimum size for salmon of 60cm and trout 55cm in this competition/meeting. Normally the minimum size in Yövesi is 50cm and the size under Finnish law is only 40cm for those fish! All the boats released a lot of undersize fish.
