§ 1 These regulations supplement the regulations issued by the Royal Majesty and the County Administrative Board of Östergötland County regarding the protection and appropriate operation of fishing and apply to all fishing waters at the disposal of Finspångs Fiskevårdsförening. § 2 With the restrictions stated below, members of the above-mentioned association are entitled to fish in the fishing waters designated by the association with angling, ice fishing, casting rods, nets, ice fishing and angel fishing. Other fishing methods and fishing gear may not be used unless the association's Chairman, or a representative appointed in writing by him, has issued a special personal permit to the member. § 3 In streams, rivers and straits, one third of the width (fishing lane) in the deepest part shall be left free of fixed or mobile fishing gear at commonly occurring low tide conditions. § 4 Members are entitled to catch bait fish with nets with a mesh size suitable for the purpose, however, no more than 15mm between each knot and with a maximum length of 15 meters. For catching bait fish, members may use a maximum of 2 (two) nets with a mesh size suitable for the purpose and with a maximum length and height of 100cm. § 5 Members are entitled to catch bait fish with a net with a diameter of no more than 1.5m and a mesh size suitable for the purpose. § 6 Members who use nets, nets or nets to catch bait fish are obliged to keep a sump of the required size to preserve the bait fish that is not currently needed. § 7 Members may have a maximum of 10 fishing rods or 10 ice rods deployed in the water at the same time. § 8 All ways of scaring fish towards fishing gear are prohibited. § 9 For members with a special personal permit according to §2 to engage in net fishing, a total fishing ban with nets applies between February 15 and May 31.
§ 10
Pike: Maximum take of 3 fish between 45-75cm per fishing trip/day. Above and below these measurements must be returned regardless of the condition of the water in which it was caught.
Zander: Maximum take of 3 fish between 45-70cm per fishing trip/day. Above and below these measurements must be returned regardless of the condition of the water in which it was caught.
Perch. Maximum take of 10 fish between 25-38cm per fishing trip/day. Above 38cm these measurements must be returned regardless of the condition of the water in which it was caught.
Fishing competitions/ice fishing competitions/fishing competitions arranged by the association are exempt from these restrictions. § 11 All fishing for so-called salmonids such as salmon, trout, char, rainbow trout, or other salmonids that occur in a natural state in waters managed by the association may not be fished during the period from September 1 to May 1. Angling for the above-mentioned species of fish during the permitted summer period may only be conducted by a member with personal permission from the association's Chairman, or by this member's designated representative in writing. A special agreement on special fees or measures to contribute to the protection and improvement of the fish species may need to be applied between the association and the member. The board has the right to dictate these conditions on a case-by-case basis. § 12 Fishing with a seine and other fishing structures is reserved for the association and is therefore prohibited for individual members. § 13 Caught fish that are not intended to be released shall either be killed immediately or sumped. § 14 All members' equipment such as boats, sumps and fixed fishing gear shall be marked with the member's name and number. Members with a specific permit for net fishing must mark the equipment with tags provided by the association. For nets set in shallow water, it is sufficient to attach the tag to the rod and for nets set in deeper water, the guard is marked. For minnows, the guard is marked at both ends. § 15 Fishing with so-called "row drag" may be done with a maximum of 2 (two) fishing gear per membership fee in each fishing water. Motor trolling, including electric motors, is prohibited. § 16 Members are obliged to report to the association any violations of the association's regulations and statutes. § 17 Directed fishing for protected and red-listed fish species such as eel and asp is strictly prohibited in all of the association's fishing waters. If these are caught despite the ban, the fish must be immediately released. § 18 In watercourses where the association owns the right to fish for salmonids that have been implanted, specific rules and regulations apply and are published in the vicinity of the specific fishery. Membership in the association does not constitute a permit to fish in these lakes, but for this a special permit/fishing license is required, which is obtained from the association for a specific fee. § 19 The above regulations are valid until the board presents any changes and these regulations replace all previous editions of the association's regulations.
