Fishing arrangements at Lake Matildanjärvi change in April 2026

Metsähallitus ended the stocking of rainbow trout in Lake Matildanjärvi, located in Teijo National Park, at the end of 2025. However, the sale of fishing permits and supervision has continued as usual until the end of March 2026. Starting from April 2026, fishing at Matildanjärvi will be allowed under general fishing rights, meaning hook and line fishing, ice fishing, and fishing with one rod and lure (e.g. spinning) after paying the fisheries management fee. In the future, fishing will be based on the lake’s natural fish stocks.
