For Fishing Rights Owner (the person, the persons who are the owners of the property), spouse and equivalent person as well as children at home and guest cards, the following rules apply.
Note!
Every year a lot of garbage is thrown into nature. Fishing lines, plastic bags, beer cans and packaging remain for several hundred years. They harm nature and the animals that live there. What should you do with the garbage? Throw it in a trash can or take it home.
The guest card is part of the fishing right. The guest card applies with the same rights as for fishing rights owners if the fishing rights owner participates in the guest's fishing, i.e. only if the guest is within sight of the fishing rights owner. Otherwise, the guest card only applies with the same rights and obligations as for fishing license purchasers (see PM for fishing license purchasers). The guest card may not be assigned or transferred for payment or included in cottage rentals. The guest card may not be transferred or sublet by the guest who uses it. For guest cards, a maximum withdrawal of 5 salmon and 5 trout per year and guest card applies.
With the decision of the Annual General Meeting to introduce digital fishing licenses also for fishing rights holders, lending and activation of guest cards will be done via iFiske (https://www.ifiske.se/). It is the person who holds the digital fishing rights certificate who can do this (due to technical limitations). The borrowed guest card will then become a digital fishing license issued to the person specified by the fishing rights holder. Lending can now be done as a 24-hour card or a maximum of one week at a time.
Salmon and trout
Salmon are allowed to be fished and killed during the period 1/1 – 14/9. Trout is allowed to be fished and killed during the period 1/1 – 14/9 and the period 1/11 – 31/12. Minimum size of salmon and trout 50 centimeters. During the period 1 August – 14 September, it is recommended to only kill salmon with dimensions of 50 - 63 centimeters. Only 1 salmon and 1 trout per fisherman per day is allowed. When a salmon and a trout have been killed, catch & release fishing applies to the person catching for the rest of the day, i.e. until 00.00.00. Catch limit of max. 5 salmon and 5 trout per season.
Grayling
Catch limit of max. 5 grayling per day and fisherman. Minimum size 35 centimeters. Closed season for grayling applies from 1 April to 31 May.
Fishing ban
In Byske during the month of June between 06:00 and 18:00 there is a total fishing ban between the blue iron bridge (the bridge into the village) and downstream to the wooden suspension bridge. During the month of June, only single hooks are allowed for all fishing on this stretch.
All fishing is prohibited in the area around the fixed fishing in Fällforsen on both sides of the river, all year round. This area extends 50 m upstream of the water intake and 100 m downstream of the water outlet to the fixed fishing.
The length of the pole when fishing with a spinning fly must not exceed 2 meters.
Mishooked fish must be released, interpretation of mishooking as below: A properly hooked fish must be hooked inside the mouth. The hook must be in the mouth hooked from the inside out. If the hook is on the outside of the mouth, the fish should be considered as mishooked, and therefore must be released dead as alive.
We recommend that when catching & release fishing, always fish with barbed hooks to make it easier to release. Always try to minimize the time of the drill. The fish can be injured during the fight due to overproduction of lactic acid in the muscles. Sometimes you can lose a fish because you take it 'a little harder', but it is even worse to try to release a fish that only turns its belly up. Especially when the water temperature is a little higher, it is difficult to release fish that have been drilled for a long time. It is always your own responsibility to handle the fish with the utmost respect.
When releasing: The basic rule is to always handle the fish as gently as possible. Remember to moisten your hands before touching the fish. The fish have a mucus layer that protects them against bacteria. If this layer is destroyed through incorrect handling, the fish can be exposed to infections.
Never pull the fish onto land! Unhook it in the water with pliers/peang. If you can't get the hook out, cut the claw. Never lift the fish, which is to be released by the gills or tail with the head down. The health of the fish should always come first. Make sure the fish can "stand" on its own in the water before you let go of it. Air exposure increases the stress on the fish. A quick picture can usually be taken, but never let it be at the expense of the fish's health. A good photo, exact length and weight are of secondary importance.
Apply rotational fishing. Fishing is conducted according to the "circulation principle", i.e. frequent changes of fishing spot. When starting fishing, you start upstream of another fisherman and fish your way downstream. Leave space for the next fisherman, so that everyone has the opportunity to start fishing.
Fishing from a boat in the river is reserved only for: - Local residents along the river who live within the fishery conservation area. - Owners of cottages within the boundaries of the fishery conservation area. - Holders of a fishing license and annual fishing license (not season license, former annual license). - Accompanying persons to persons who have the right to fish from a boat are also allowed to fish from a boat.
The planted lakes
In lakes with exposed fish, it is permitted to catch fish all year round. It is only permitted to fish with one rod at a time per fisherman, thus it is prohibited to set out multiple rods. Fishing may only be done from land, the exception is ice fishing. In the planted lakes, no minimum sizes are stipulated. A total of 3 fish of the fish species grayling, rainbow trout, trout and char may be kept/day and fisherman. The catch reporting requirement also applies to the implantation lakes.
Report caught fish!
It is important in light of complete catch statistics that caught fish are reported, this also applies to released fish. Therefore, the reporting obligation applies throughout the season within 24 hours of the catch of trout and salmon that meet the minimum size as well as for catches in the implantation lakes. Catch reporting must be done via the fishery management area's catch reporting on iFiske (https://www.ifiske.se/).
