Fly Fishing destinations worldwide - FFTC.club Magazine issue II-2020

It is only an hour drive from the centre
of the capital, Tallinn, to fishing waters
where you will find wild brown trout,
bear trails, and rarely see any other
fishermen. This is one of the most
unique aspects of Estonia. Wild
nature and beautiful rivers with trophy
trout are just a short drive away from
the biggest towns. You can find brown
trout in more than one hundred rivers,
and in most of them, the trout are wild.
Because trout rivers flow through the
wildest parts of the country, it’s very
common to spot a moose, beaver, or
roe deer while fishing. Even if you
don’t see the animal itself, you can
find moose droppings, beaverchewed
logs, and even fresh bear
trails, which are all signs of a wild and
healthy environment.
Estonia isn't a widely-known fly
fishing destination yet, but every
year more travelling fly fishermen
visit the country. Still, due to so many
rivers to choose from, you rarely meet
other fishermen while fishing.
Small in form, but rich
in content
We Estonians like to say that our
county may be small in form, but it is
rich in content. That means that in this
small country you can find Siberia
taiga like forests, crystal clear rivers
and streams, wide wetlands, more
than 2000 islands, our historical
folklore, best-preserved medieval city
in Northern Europe and much more.
