Seasons & zones

- Grayling 1 July → 31 August
Arctic Lapland grayling north of 67°N: Year-round protection on some Arctic grayling populations. Tornionjoki (border river) has specific regulations per intergovernmental talks. July–August fishing typically restricted to maintain wild stocks. Check eraluvat.fi for annual updates and local regulations.
Rules differ by water type — check the local regulations.
Prime sport 1 July → 31 August
Sea trout: Seasonal open (2026) — Europe's largest free-flowing salmon river. Sea trout (meritaimen) are present and legally fishable alongside Atlantic salmon. Finland–Sweden joint management of this border river. Sea trout are secondary to salmon but are a genuine part of the Tornionjoki fishery — not in the same category of decline as Baltic coastal sea trout.
