Trout without fat fins can be caught if it is at least 60 centimeters long. Fatfin trout has been financed.
The size of fin cut, i.e. stocked trout, has been increased in the Kymijoki watershed.
In the future, in Päijänte, in both Heinola and Hartola fishing areas, you can catch trout without fat fins, which are at least sixty centimeters long.
The purpose is to improve the yield of the plantations, as larger fish survive better in the wild and their chance to reproduce naturally increases. For example, the fish planted in Päijänte grow quickly because the most important food, muikku, is abundant. Due to the rapid growth, some of the placentas are caught too early, and they may not have had time to grow to sexual maturity.
The new, higher minimum size than the one recorded in the Fisheries Act has been approved in the use and management plans of fisheries areas.
Fatfin trout is still calmed down. For catching it, in addition to fines, compensation of a generous 2,400 euros can be paid.
For example, in Päijänte, a large number of recreational fishermen have for a long time voluntarily used a length of 60 centimeters as the minimum size for trout.
In addition to the Päijäthämälä fishing areas, the new sub-dimensions apply to the Pohjois Päijänte fishing area, the Leppäveden-Hankasalmi fishing area and the Saarijärvi route fishing area. In the future, the bottom size of trout planted in the Suonte fishery area will be 55 centimetres.
