At Kukkolankoski, centuries-old dip net fishing is still a living tradition, passed down from generation to generation.

Watching salmon being lifted from the rushing rapids is an unforgettable sight and if you’d like to experience it yourself, you can even try guided dip net fishing at nearby Kukkolaforsen on the Swedish side during the summer season.
