Fishing
Finland offers numerous possibility to go fishing. You can fish with a simple rod and few worm in any lake without getting a license. This is part of "Everyman's rights", which allows you to freely walk through forests, collect berries and mushrooms without asking the authorisation of the land owner.
You will however need a license if you want to go cast-fishing, fly-fishing or net fishing. First you need to pay the national licence (20€/year or 6€/week). You can pay it to this bank account Nordea: 166030-101496 and then print the receipt. Then you need the regional license (27€/year or 6€/week) To pay this license, the bank account for the region of tampere (West Finland) is: Länsi-Suomen lääni 166030-106602
However you dont need to pay the regional fee if you are only going to fish in rivers, they have their separate license which are between 5€ and 15€ / 24h.
Hervanta has few smaller lake like Särkijärvi, Hervantajärvi, Suolijärvi.
For river fishing you can go to:
Lempäälä (20km, 5€/day, 50€/year)
Viiala (35km, 10€/day)
Siuronkoski (45km, 7€/day, 70€/day)
