Habitat:
• Rivers and Streams: Brown trout are typically found in cold, clear rivers and streams with a good flow of oxygenated water.
• Lakes: They also inhabit cold, deep lakes, often staying near the bottom during warmer months and moving to shallower waters during cooler periods.
Size and Growth: Brown trout in Lapland can reach significant sizes, especially the migratory sea trout, which can grow much larger than their freshwater counterparts due to the rich feeding grounds in the sea.
Behavior:
• Feeding: Brown trout are opportunistic feeders, consuming insects, crustaceans, and smaller fish. Sea trout also feed heavily on marine organisms like herring and sprat.
• Spawning: Trout spawn in late autumn to early winter, usually in gravel beds in rivers and streams. This period is critical for their lifecycle and also when they are protected by fishing regulations.
Season: The best time for trout fishing is from late spring to early autumn, avoiding the spawning season in late autumn. Early spring might surprise you!

• Lakes: In some regions, grayling can also be found in lakes, particularly those with inflowing and outflowing streams.
Size and Growth: Grayling are generally smaller than trout, with the largest individuals reaching up to 60 cm in length. They are known for their distinctive large dorsal fin and their beautiful coloration.
Behavior:
• Feeding: Grayling feed on a variety of aquatic insects, crustaceans, and small fish. They are particularly known for rising to the surface to take flies, making them a popular target for fly fishermen.
• Spawning: Grayling spawn in the spring, typically in gravel beds in fast-flowing sections of rivers. Like trout, their spawning period is protected by fishing regulations to ensure sustainable populations.
