Fishing in summer white nights on a river rapids and lakes
 One of the peculiarities of fishing in Finland is fishing in white summer nights. In June and July summers are not that light but in Lapland out of the Northern polar circle, white nights begin in May. Night twilights on a river are the best time of grayling and cisco fishing.
You will have unforgettable feelings catching a pike in an open foggy lake at night and you will also remember night zander fishing for a long time.

One can fish in Finland in any season
You can choose what fish to catch and how to catch it depending on a season. A perch is the best friend of a fisherman. This national fish of Finland is met all the country and is well caught in any season. You can also catch other species on a fishing rod such as roach, bream and other carp species. The best time for catching a pike or a bulltrout  on a fake lure is spring and autumn though you can always catch them out of hidden places until rivers are covered by ice. Grayling, salmon, trout and cisco bite well out rivers and rapids, especially in the summer and autumn. the best season for catching zander is  the beginning of summer- June-July. Catching a perch under the ice is possible for the whole winter until there ice on the rivers and burbot bites well in dark January and February evenings.

Dues and licenses for fishing in Finland
If you catch fish on a simple fishing rod,  consisting of a hook and a fishing line, even under the ice,  you don’t need any permission. You can catch fish free of charge in Finnish sea areas of water and almost in all lakes.
But if there are some other equipments,  except fishing line and a hook then you will need two documents:
- certificate about state paying due for fishing
- receipt about paying a local license for fishing

The price of a state fee is 4,2 euros for one week (2001). Children under 18 and adults over 65 and those who only watch the process of fishing and don’t take part in fishing don’t have to pay.

The second necessary document is a license for fishing. As a rule, fishing on a lake is cheaper than fishing on rapids. There are no limits on a number of sold licenses on lakes, so you don’t need to book beforehand, moreover you can take what you have caught for eating.
You can buy licenses at the owners of the cottages or at a local fishing guide.
In Aland islands there are their own rules of fishing and there is their own system for licenses.
