Dead fish of an unauthorized nature that "happened" to die during capture must be released. There is a release route that runs from Kilverdammen - Graunaforsen, where all fish must be released. Mandatory catch reporting applies from 48 hours after fishing has ended. Catch reporting can be done via your digital fishing license or our website www.byskealvensovrefvo.se All fish over 30 cm must be reported. When releasing fish, it should be done in the most gentle way possible. Make sure that the fish gets oxygen through the gills by holding it up against the current and try to ensure that it can swim away on its own.
