• Window withdrawal applies to trout.
  Trout between 40-55 cm (approx. 7 kg-1.5 kg may be caught and those that are both larger and smaller must be released). For grayling the minimum size is 35 cm.
• A maximum of one trout and one grayling may be caught.
• Fishing must be conducted within the limits, for each fishing license, that are set out on our map.
• Respect the "fishing ban" on the "sea neck" (limit moved down to the rock arms, approx. 40 m). See picture on the website and on the information board.

• Mandatory catch reporting applies. Failure to report catch may result in suspension.
• We do not refund or replace fishing licenses if we have to close fishing due to high water temperatures or low water levels.
  The water temperature for closing the fishery is +19 degrees for two consecutive days, the fishery opens when the water temperature stabilizes below 19 degrees.
• Ban on using wading boots with felt soles, due to the risk of spreading crayfish infection.

Catch & Release rules

• Touch the fish as little as possible. It is very important that the fish's mucus layer is not damaged.
• A soft plastic net or fine mesh net should be used when bringing in the fish.
• The fish must not be lifted out of the water or "backed"/pulled onto land.
• Remove the hook with pliers.
• Let the fish recover in the net without touching it. If the fish needs help regaining strength, you can hold it in the net or wet your hands and hold the fish in the tail coil until it recovers.
  THE FISH MUST NOT BE LIFT OUT OF THE WATER WITH YOUR HANDS!!
• Mandatory catch reporting applies. Failure to report catch may result in suspension.
  In order to better manage the fisheries within Övre Gimåns FVO, we need help collecting information about what the stocks in different watercourses look like. Partly for statistics, partly so that you as guests can get an idea of where and how the catches are made, and so that we can follow the development of the stock.

The fishing license cannot be canceled.
