The 250 km coastline and its many islets, islands and skerries of the Ostrobothnian region provide excellent living conditions for pike. At the heart of the Ostrobothnian coastline is the unique Kvarken Archipelago, Finland’s only UNESCO Natural Heritage Site.
The fisheries management fee is required if you are 18–69 years of age and will be fishing with lures or traps or crayfishing. The fisheries management fee entitles you to fish in nearly the entire country using one rod. In some cases, however, anglers will require the permission of the owner of a given water area. Proceeds from the fisheries management fee are used to manage fishing waters and fish stocks as well as monitor fishing activity and provide advice to anglers.
