Fishing is a great way to relax. The access restrictions should be observed when fishing.

Hook and line fishing, ice fishing and fishing with a simple herring rig are permitted under everyman's rights.

Persons aged 18-69 years must pay the fisheries management fee (eraluvat.fi). If you use more than one rod, for example for trolling or spinning for whitefish, you will also need Metsähallitus' angling permit no 7412 (eraluvat.fi) for the Baltic Sea area. Fishing permits are available from Metsähallitus' online shop (eraluvat.fi).
For netting and other trap fishing you will need, in addition to paying the fisheries management fee, trap licence no 6020 for the Gulf of Finland National Park (eraluvat.fi, in Finnish). The permits can be bought from the service number 020 69 2424.

Fishers need to check the restrictions on fishing sites at kalastusrajoitus.fi (In Finnish).
