Fishing
The shallow and rocky Kvarken Archipelago is an excellent fishing site all year round. During the winter, it is a good idea to go ice fishing in order to catch perch on the ice close to Replot Island or in the inner archipelago of Björkö. During the spring, you can watch the hectic ascend of fish to their spawning sites in the brooks. Please note that many of these brooks and areas in their vicinity are protected during spawning. After spawning, perch move to spots of flowing water and in late summer, a good fishing site can be found by the Replot Bridge. It is also an excellent place for hook and line Baltic herring. You may catch a pike with a spinning reel close to the rocks and reed beds from the summer to the autumn. In the Kvarken area, you will not, necessarily, need a boat for fishing, as there are many shores that are suitable for fishing. The local fishing guides will be happy to take you to the best fishing sites!
Everyone who is older than 18 years and younger than 70 years must pay a fishing management fee (eraluvat.fi) if they carry out other forms of fishing than ice fishing and hook and line fishing. Fishers need to check the restrictions on fishing sites at kalastusrajoitus.fi.
