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.

Permits needed for fishing
A separate angling permit is not required for Lake Kesänkijärvi from 15 May 2024.

You will 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. Hook and line fishing and ice fishing are fully prohibited in rapids and running sections of waters with migratory fish stocks.
