Recreational fishing in Finland in most cases requires a licence, except for ice fishing and angling. Some species of fish and crayfish are protected at certain periods. The spawning grounds, habitats and migratory routes of important species of fish are protected for set periods to preserve fish stocks. Fishing is also restricted in areas where the Saimaa seal is found.

A recreational fishing licence allows access to special fishing areas which are actively developed and maintained. This procedure provides you information on how you can apply for one.
