The angling permit area Kaamasjoki is situated in Inari. The permit area starts at the confluence of the Kaamasjoki and Kielajoki Rivers in the Paistunturi Wilderness Area and ends a little before the center of Kaamanen village.
The fish in the Kaamasjoki River is dependent on natural production, as no fish are planted in the river area. The trout rise from Lake Mutusjärvi to the spawning grounds of the Kaamasjoki and Kielajoki Rivers.
1 June–31 August.

Water temperature has a significant impact on the survival of salmonids after they are released. When water temperatures approach +20 °C, you should use judgement before you decide to fish for salmonids. In waters warmer than this, fishing for salmonids should be avoided. In such situations, it is advisable to focus on species that are more resistant to heat, such as zander, pike and perch. See guidelines for responsible fishing.
