Merikarvia River is the first Finnish salmon river whose estuary is protected by a voluntary net-fishing free zone that extends 5 km towards the sea from the estuary.
In Merikarvia, nets and fish traps that are a common nuisance to migratory fish elsewhere are not a hindrance.
If you suspect that your catch may suffer from taste defects, then it is advisable to release the fish back into the river, as preparing food from the fish may not be worthwhile.
Rehabilitation of the rapids, improvement of the water quality, substantial re-stocking and a voluntary net free river estuary have all contributed to Merikarvia River’s miraculous comeback as a salmon river.
Thanks to the extensiveness of the river’s fishing area, its beauty, the natural propagation of sea trout throughout its rapids and good catches, Merikarvia River is well known nationally.
Merikarvia River is well suited to light sea trout fishing with flies and lures.
