VILPPULA RAPIDS
Vilppulankoski is a family-friendly fishing place located between Orivesi and Keuruu in the county of Vilppula. Vilppulankoski can provide a challenge for the toughest of fishermen: trout run the rapids on their way to and from the lakes and to insure a good catch trout and rainbow trout are stoked in the area steadily throughout the fishing season.
 
You can get by without wading gear in Vilppulankoski. The area has three fishing jetties that make fishing easier. Trout can be found surprisingly close to the bank in eddies created by large rocks. You will do well with light spinning or fly fishing gear.




Spinning fishers should try using small wobblers, spinners, zonkers, and leeches. Good colors in Vilppua’s slightly brown water are orange, red, and yellow. Good colors for spinner and spoon lures are brass and copper. For example, try out Laxmann’s small spinners or Nils Master’s small wobblers.

Vilppulankoski is a good fishing destination for families and people with disabilities. There are good paths along the banks of the river that make getting around easy. While walking along the paths you can get to know Vilppula’s history.
