PEETU PIIROINEN

Peetu is an ex-professional snowboarder who has been fishing his whole life. Peetu started fly fishing about ten years ago and has been on that road ever since.


Planning salmon fishing trips, tying all the flies for the trip, and just spending as much time as possible in nature have become an essential part of Peetu's life.


What are your biggest passions in fly fishing? "It's salmon and sea trout fly fishing. Simple as that. "


Vision gear that you can't live without? "Merisuola rods and XO reels.  "


What are your top 3 flies?  "Micro Green Butt, Flatwing Sandeel, and Surfboard."


What is your wildest fishing memory? "It is my first trip to Finnmark. It was the last day of the trip, and I only had about one hour left of fishing time. On the last run I hooked and landed my first big salmon. It was a feeling I will never forget. Hard work pays off! "
