    Welcome! I know that there are a number of members that travel abroad for work, myself included, but I don’t know for a fact if there are any that have called overseas home.

    What do you like to fish for in Finland? I believe you have a fish that resembles our Walleye.

    Hey Timo,

    I would love to get over to Finland sometime. It looks like a beautiful country. I have some Finn in my blood and have a lot of family/friends that have Finn heredity as well.

    Welcome to the forum.

    If you are ever in the states, stop on by for a hot sauna. Got a wood burning sauna in the backyard that is on twice a week!

    Welcome. I’m not Finn myself (mostly Kraut) but my wife is. Half of her uncles and aunts on both sides were born in Finland although her parents were born here in the States. Finn was the families first language until her generation. Her family came from Kuusamo.

    No sir, I myself come from this little place called England. No ice fishing there, but I can thank my father-in-law for my love of this type of fishing. BTW welcome
