Fishing destinations
Fishing is one of the most popular hobbies in Finland.
Fishing permits
Before you go fishing, always remember to check if you need a fishing permit. This depends on your fishing technique and the waters in which you intend to fish.
Ice fishing and hook and line fishing
A skilled fishing enthusiast can catch a healthy supplement to their diet. A fish caught through the ice or with a hook and line is the first catch of many young fishers.
How well do you know everyman’s rights?
You are allowed to, e.g., angle, ice fish, go boating and walk on the ice.
Angling and ice fishing may be restricted in some water bodies (e.g., rapids and currents in migratory fish waters).
You may not fish without appropriate permits.
Everyman’s rights are not valid as such in nature reserves and all national parks. Always check any restrictions applicable to your destination before you go.
