Lätäseno 1423

Permit area 1423 Lätäseno will partially replace the former angling permit area 1550 Lätäseno. The other two angling permit areas replacing the Lätäseno area are 1426 Toriseno ja 1432 Poroeno.

The Lätäseno permit area comprises the river area from Vähäkurkkio to the mouth of the Toriseno River. For example, the Rommaeno, Toriseno and Poroeno rivers all drain into Lätäseno, which is the largest tributary of Muonionjoki River. Salmon migrating back to Lätäseno can travel up distances to 500 km. The area is well known for large grayling and whitefish.

The area is ideal for traditional casting, but trolling from a rowboat is also possible. The Lätäseno River is accessible on foot or by boat or bike.

Permits for 2024 become available on 9 April 2024 at 9 a.m.

Permit terms

Permit terms for the area

Fishing period: 1.6.–31.8.

The permit does not grant you the right to fish in other waters surrounding Lätäseno. Those waters belong to a permit area called 1401 Käsivarsi-Tarvanto.

Fishing gear and bait

Use of worms and bait fish in fishing is prohibited. Besides, in order to prevent the spread of the Canadian waterweed (Elodea canadensis), fishing gear brought from outside to the Lätäseno angling permit area must be completely dry.

Catch quotas

The maximum number of fish that an angler may catch is indicated in the table below:

Fish Species	maximum catch in 24 hours
Salmon or trout	1 fish
Grayling or whitefish	3 fish

There is no fishing quota limit for other fish species.

Catch surveys are sent to anglers after the permit expires. All caught fish must be reported, also those that were released.

Catch sizes and protection periods

The following catch sizes and protection periods for fish species are in effect for this permit area:

Fish species	Catch size	Protection period
Trout	At least 50 cm	1.9.–30.11.*
Grayling	At least 35 cm	No protection period in this permit area
Salmon	At least 60 cm	1.9.–30.11.*

*During the protection period of trout and salmon, all fishing in the permit area is prohibited.

Metsähallitus recommends anglers to release all trout back into the water.

Fishers must observe the catch sizes and protection periods mandated in the Fishing Decree for other fish species.

Water temperature has a significant impact on the survival of salmonids after they are released. When water temperatures approach +20 °C, you should use judgement before you decide to fish for salmonids. In waters warmer than this, fishing for salmonids should be avoided. In such situations, it is advisable to focus on species that are more resistant to heat, such as zander, pike and perch. See guidelines for responsible fishing.
