Deficiencies in the translations of fishing destinations
Not all information on angling permit areas has yet been translated into English and Swedish on the renewed Eräluvat.fi service. For this reason, not all angling permits can yet be purchased as a self-service. However, the permits can be purchased through Eräluvat customer service.

Keep in mind in this area
The number of angling permits is limited. Please check the availability of permits beforehand.
Validity of the permit begins always at 6.00 pm.
Familiarize yourself with the fishing regulations of the fisheries area
You can find the fishing regulations (kalastusrajoitukset) for the Enontekiö fisheries area on the Enontekiö fisheries area’s website (enontekionkalatalousalue.fi) (in Finnish).
Permits needed for fishing
The need for an angling permit depends on the type of waterbody and how many rods and lures you will use.
In this permit area, you will need an angling permit when lure fishing in sections with rapids and running water. You will also be required to pay the fisheries management fee, unless you are under 18 years of age, over 70 years of age, or are 65 years of age or older as of 31 December 2023.
If you are lure fishing with only one rod and lure in still waters, such as river pools, payment of the fisheries management fee is sufficient. You will also require an angling permit when fishing with multiple rods or lures.
Hook and line fishing and ice fishing are fully prohibited in running and rapids sections of waters with migratory fish stocks (i.e. also this permit area). In still waters, hook and line fishing and ice fishing are permitted free of charge with one rod. If you are hook and line fishing or ice fishing with more than one rod, you are required to purchase an angling permit and pay the fisheries management fee.
Waters and area-specific restrictions in the permit area
Always make sure to check the location of the permit area. Please see either the map window or the PDF map on this page. Enlarge the map window to view the location of the permit area more clearly.
Water areas that are not included in this angling permit
The permit area is not uniform. There are private water areas in the Pöyrisjoki River that do not belong to the Pöyrisjoki 1449 permit area.
The permit does not grant you the right to fish in other waters surrounding Pöyrisjoki. Those waters belong to a permit area called 1402 Karesivanto-Hetta.
