General
The fishing license is personal and may not be transferred. Fishing with hand gear and only one rod per person and fishing license may be used. For all fishing licenses, children up to 15 years of age may fish for free in the company of a guardian who must of course have purchased a valid fishing license. You are required to submit a catch report regardless of whether you have caught fish or not. All fishing according to applicable freshwater regulations. Fvo urges restrictive fishing in all licensed tributaries as these act as nurseries for sea trout. Sävaråns Fvo urges our fishing guests to use good fishing ethics and common sense. Leave the water as you want to find it again. Thank you for following our rules and for fishing with us.
Fishing season
Fishing times and fishing ban periods April 1 - April 30 fishing ban in Sävarån between the E4 bridge and Ytterträsk. The intention of this ban is that there will always be a fishing premiere on May 1 in the river. September 15 - October 31 fishing ban in Sävarån between the E4 bridge and Ytterträsk to protect salmon and trout spawning. On other stretches, fishing is permitted all year round, for example from the E4 bridge and downstream to Skeppsvik. However, species-specific rules apply as usual in these areas. Fishing ban at Krokbäcksfallet At Krokbäcksfallet, fishing is prohibited 100 m downstream and 100 m upstream of the fall. See markings on the digital map.
