Largest Fishing Tourism Platform in Finland

Overview

Fishermans Lodge is the leading platform for fishing tourism in Finland, built for the founder to connect international anglers with local guides, accommodation hosts, and curated fishing holiday packages across the country's wilderness regions - from the salmon rivers of Lapland to the zander lakes of Saimaa and the coastal archipelago.

The platform features a marketplace of accommodations, standalone fishing activities, and fully-guided multi-day packages with dynamic filtering by region, fish species, and season. An interactive map of Finland lets users explore where to find pike, perch, salmon, trout, grayling, arctic char, and zander. Guides and hosts like Harriniva Hotels & Safaris, Aurora Holidays, Travel Utsjoki, and LappeanLohi manage their own listings.

The site supports four languages (English, German, Finnish, Swedish) with full internationalization. A blog with SEO-optimised content covers everything from fishing regulations to gear advice for flying with Finnair, Lufthansa, and Austrian Airlines.

Built on Next.js 16 with Supabase for database and file storage, hosted on Vercel, WAF protection, and Mailchimp for newsletter management. The platform has grown into the largest fishing tourism platform in Finland and is continuously expanding into Sweden and Norway.
