Fishing at Matildanjärvi Lake in Teijo National Park
Fishing at Matildanjärvi is a popular choice in Teijo National Park. Matildanjärvi is known as a productive fishing lake. You can also rent a rowboat for your fishing trip in Teijo National Park.
Matildanjärvi: fish species and fishing guidelines
Matildanjärvi is home to familiar freshwater species such as pike, perch, and roach. Around 20 years ago, brown trout and brook trout were also stocked in the lake. Rainbow trout stocking ended in 2025.
At Matildanjärvi, you can fish under Finland’s general fishing rights: angling (rod-and-line) and ice fishing are allowed. If you want to fish with one rod and a lure (for example with a spinning rod), you must pay the kalastonhoitomaksu, a management fee. Fishing is based on the lake’s natural fish stocks.
Other fishing opportunities in the Teijo area
In the other lakes in the area you’ll find the most common freshwater fish species. In Teijo’s largest lake, Hamarijärvi, there are also stocked eels.
Teijo’s lakes also have healthy populations of noble crayfish thanks to re-stocking. Noble crayfish are native to Finland and have traditionally been part of the local lake fauna, but crayfish plague previously caused them to almost disappear from many lakes in the Teijo area.
When fishing, remember to keep only fish that are above the minimum size and not threatened. Always check current fishing restrictions before you go.
