River Tana

Fishing in the River Tana fishing district is regulated by a common agreement between Finland and Norway concluded in 1989 and related fishing rule.

According to the agreement, the Lapland Employment and Economic Development Centre and Fylkesmannen i Finnmark may decide jointly on the fisheries issues concerning tourists if this is necessary due to the state of the fish populations and practising of fishing. Negotiations with the Norwegian party are usually held each January. Matters to be agreed on include the fishing periods for tourists, closed areas and prices of fishing licences. Decisions concerning the next season are made by the beginning of April.
