Period quota - April 1-June 30

During the period 1 April-30 June you may catch (retained catch) a total of no more than one (1) salmon. Once you have caught one (1) salmon (retained catch), you must stop all fishing for the rest of the time up to and including 30 June. You may release caught fish and continue your fishing until you have reached the quota. However, keep in mind that this must be done with the utmost respect and care for the fish. Quotas apply to the entire Ätran water system.

The daily catch (retained catch) during the period 1 July-30 September is two (2) salmon or trout. You may release caught fish and continue fishing until you have reached the seasonal or daily quota.

In August and September, all caught fish over 75 cm should be released. We also recommend that smaller females be released during these two months and urge anglers to be aware of high water temperatures (over 20 degrees), when they should consider refraining from fishing altogether.

You, as a fisherman, are obliged to report your catch, which also applies to catches that are released and released fish. All released salmon must be released back. Catch reporting is an important tool for fisheries management. Reporting is done through the link that comes with your digital fishing license, via your fishing license number on iFiske.se
