About this water

Short northern Estonian river flowing over limestone bedrock to the coast. Complete autumn fishing closure confirms its significance as a salmonid spawning river—the kind of protection you expect on important waters. Small-water fishing when open: nymphing and small dries in short runs and pools. Fishing card required when open.
