Seine net
The seine net has been acquired for the management of the fishing waters in the Sevettijärvi area. The net was purchased with funds collected during Antti Pentikäinen’s birthday celebration. The seine net is communal, and all users are responsible for its use and maintenance. Villagers can use the net according to the following conditions:
The seine net must be reserved in advance from the reservation book at the Kolttatalo. In the summer, the Kolttatalo is closed in July, so inquiries about borrowing the net can be made either by email or phone (weekdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM) to the Skolt Saami Cultural Foundation. Contact details can be found at the end.
The seine net may only be used in the Sevettijärvi drainage basin. The net must not be taken to other water bodies, such as Nitsijärvi. Check if the planned fishing location belongs to the Sevettijärvi drainage basin from Järviwiki Sevettijärven valuma-alue (69.06) – Järvi-meriwiki (jarviwiki.fi)
The Sevettijärvi drainage basin includes the Kuosnajoki area, Kirakkajärvi drainage basin, Sevettijärvi surrounding area, Ailejohka drainage basin, Sollomusjärvenoja drainage basin, Petsijärvenoja drainage basin, Nilijärvi area, Unhorjuuha drainage basin, and Jorvapuolijärvi drainage basin.
