The city of Vantaa has fishing waters in the Vantaa and Kerava rivers and in the Gulf of Finland. The types of fishing waters and the fish stocks vary from region to region.
The Vantaa and Kerava rivers flow across wide clay regions, which means that when the flow of the river increases it causes significant turbidity of the water, especially downstream. The average flow of the Vantaa River at the mouth of the river is 17 m3/s, but there are great variations in its flow. When the river is flooded the flow can even exceed 200 m3/s, whereas in the peak times of the summer period the flow may drop to about 2 m3/s. The drop height of the approximately 100 km long Vantaa River is 111 m. The length of the Kerava River is 65 km.
