NOTE!!
Avoid fishing for spawning fish as much as possible, generally 1/5-30/6 (spawning fish are a much worse food fish). Do not save more fish than necessary! Our predatory fish, and especially the larger ones, are very important for maintaining the balance of fish communities in our waters. Handle the fish carefully if it is to be released back (no head-lift weighing, protect the eyes from sunlight, think about gill and eye freezing in winter)!
Remember that the Pike (male fish) guards the roe and fry!
Free fishing for children and young people does not apply to the fly fishing stretches in the Norrtäljeån River and they are of course obliged to pay attention to other applicable rules that an angler is obliged to follow (local rules)!
