Lake
Kuikansalmi is a narrow but deep strait between two bigger lakes. Water current in the narrows is quite strong, but during winters, ice gets still strong enough for fishing.
Fishing
Main fishing target is a big perch but other species can be found as well. High water level and fast water flow during autumns bring trout and white fish to the area. But when the spring approaches, roach and similar fish occupy the best places. Occasionally a few rainbow trout are put to the nearhood of the rapids, causing a snap of the thin fishing lines. Also other species can be found, but they are more rare.

Where to start on Kuikansalmi
- A narrow, fairly deep strait between two lakes, where the current is sometimes strong. The main catch is big perch.
- A few rainbow trout are stocked in the current, and they can snap thin lines. In spring small roach-type fish take over the bite spots.
- Shallower water: perch, roach, burbot. Deeper water: smelt, rainbow trout. If nothing bites, change the depth first and only then the spot.
