Tampere has plenty of fishing waters, including the Tammerkoski rapids in the city centre. Angling, fishing with spinning lure or troll and angling through the ice are allowed without a permit, except at the Tammerkoski rapids, where only fly fishing and spinning are allowed and a special permit is required.
Fishing is possible only from the banks of the rapids.
A national fishing licence and a local fishing permit are needed for fishing in the waters in and around Tampere. The national fishing licence is obtainable at post offices.
