Fishing in Finland


Finland’s clean water bodies are rich in fish: it is not surprising that fishing here is one of the favorite pastimes of both locals and guests of Suomi.

What is important to remember when going fishing in Finland?

Fishing on a regular fishing rod on a hook in still water can be freely, without a license.

For any other types and methods of fishing is required to acquire a license. This can be done in the shops of R-Kioski (in any of them), or in companies offering services in the organization of fishing.

In Imatra, you can purchase a license (and rent equipment) also in the Vuoksen Kalastuspuisto fishing park

There are protected fish species (for example, lake salmon) whose catch, even occasional, is prohibited under the threat of a fine. We recommend that you google the list before fishing or clarify at the place of purchase of the license.

If you plan to fish in private waters, do not forget to get permission from the owner.

Fishing license - Fishing Permit in English or Kalastuslupa (Kalastuslup) in Finnish

If you want to immediately fry and eat your catch, it is important to remember that it is possible to make a fire only in specially designated places.

We wish you a great bite!
