General rules for sport fishing on Åland

• Avoid taking a toll on nature and the environment.
• Get to know the current regulations and conservation periods, conservation areas, minimum dimensions and fragile nature. Respect these.
• Never fish without a permit and fishing license for sport fishing.
• Use the methods and gear that give the fish the best possible chance of survival if/when released.
• Immediately kill caught fish to be kept.
• Never catch more fish than you can consume yourself.

ATTENTION! Between April 15 and June 15, sport fishing from shore is prohibited, this out of consideration for nesting seabirds.

ATTENTION! Between June 1 and June 30, Gösen is protected.
