Huopanankoski, Rapids in Viitasaari, Finland
The Huopanankoski rapids consist of a narrow forked stream flowing from Lake Vuosjärvi to Lake Muuruejärvi with a 6.5-meter elevation difference.
Sport fishing activities at Huopanankoski began in the 1800s, establishing the location as a significant recreational destination in Central Finland.
Finnish author Juhani Aho brought recognition to these rapids through his published short stories about flyfishing experiences in these waters.
The fishing season operates from January 1 to September 10 and November 16 to December 31, with brown trout and grayling among the available species.
The rapids split into two sections, with the left fork maintaining its natural condition while the right fork underwent modifications for log transportation.
