All fishing in running water is prohibited. Sport fishing in other waters may only be carried out by persons who have purchased a valid fishing license/fishing permit. The sport fishing license is purchased by the general public who do not have their own fishing license. Children under 16 years of age fish for free. Fishing licenses are personal and may not be transferred. 3 fish per person/boat are permitted, everyone must have a fishing license then. A sport fishing license entitles you to fishing with hand gear (fishing rod, casting rod, fly rod), sloe net and 20 angelfish, but not pike cutters. Trolling fishing may be done with two casts per license (maximum six casts per boat). Trolling, which refers to fishing from a trolling boat with more casts than stated above, is permitted on open water. This requires a special trolling license. The minimum size for pike perch, trout and salmon is 45 cm. Permitted fish must be between 45-75 cm. Pikeperch over 5 kg must be released back into the water. Smaller fish must be released back into the water regardless of condition. Trout is protected during the period September 1 to December 31.
NOTE!
During the pikeperch season (May 15 - June 30), ALL fishing for pikeperch is prohibited in the entire Glafsfjorden.
