First WEKE-Katiska - fish trap came out in 1993. Veikko Hakala, a professional fisherman from Korpilahti, had designed and produced the first model of the fish trap for his own use. In 1998 the production of fish traps started on an industrial scale.
The company has followed certain principles over the past 20 years:
“That’s where the fish swims best"
WEKE-Katiska fish traps are always designed so that a grown seal or a cub cannot swim inside them. Fish trap fishing is a safe, interesting and challenging sport, for both professionals and enthusiasts, and is environmentally suitable for fishing more sensitive fish species, not to mention fresh water seal preservation.
