???????? FISHING BAN DUE TO SPREADING PERIOD ???????? Autumn is here, which means it's time for our trout and char to migrate and spawn! To give the fishermen the best possible conditions to secure future generations, fishing in HÄLSEN, LILLHÄLSEN, LÅNGTJÄRNEN AND ÖRTJÄRNEN is CLOSED. 

Valid from: 15/9 to 31/12

.???? What does that mean? All fishing is strictly prohibited during this period. Also remember to avoid wading in the flowing parts of the streams, as boots can easily trample spawning holes and roe. Thank you for respecting the fishing rules and helping to protect our unique fish stock! ????❤️ Sveaskog  Fishing rules
