Catch limit:

• 4 fish (grayfish and trout), of which a maximum of 1 trout, which meets the applicable minimum/maximum size, may be caught per fisherman per day in the Vindelälven River.
• In Gargån and Staggbäcken, a maximum of 2 grayling and a maximum size of 40cm apply. All trout are released = No kill on trout.
• A maximum of 1 male salmon may be caught per fisherman/day, the females must be released back. This is because our area is located within one of the river's more important spawning areas for salmon.
