Nedre Ljungans Sportfiske is managed by Nedre Ljungans fiskevårdsområdesförening. The members of the fiskevårdsområdesförening consist of the owners of the properties that have fishing rights within the fishery management area. When purchasing a fishing license, the buyer enters into an agreement with the association, which means that the buyer is obliged to follow the rules for fishing. In addition to the fishing rules, the buyer is also obliged to behave correctly towards the association's members and officials as well as other anglers. This requirement also includes actions on social media or in other forms that, if abused, could damage the association's operations. If the association believes that someone is behaving or acting inappropriately, the association reserves the right to deny the person the right to buy a fishing license for a certain period of time and to cancel an already valid fishing license.
