A unique pike fishing destination in Finland

Fishing management fee in 2023
The Fishing management fee is a federal tax-recurring fee, which is mandatory to anyone fishing between the ages 18 and 64. Angling with a hook and line and ice fishing (one rod per person) are public rights and does not require payment of the fee. Paying the management fee entitles you to practice lure fishing using one rod, reel and lure across Finland. Apart from the paying the fishing management fee, the water owner's permission is always required for other type of fishing, such as net and trap fishing.
