- It is prohibited to use wading shoes with felt soles, due to the risk of spreading crayfish infection.
Rules for Catch & Release
- 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 taking the fish in.
- The fish must not be lifted out of the water or "backed"/pulled onto land.
- Remove the hook with a hook/pliers.
- Let the fish recover in the net without touching the fish. If the fish needs help to regain strength, you can keep it in the net or wet your hands and hold the fish by the tail coil until it has recovered. THE FISH MUST NOT BE LIFT OUT OF THE WATER WITH YOUR HANDS!!
- Mandatory catch reporting applies. Failure to report catches may lead to suspension. In order to better manage the fishing within Övre Gimåns FVO, we need help to collect 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 cancelled.
