Fishing regulations
As a fisherman, you are obliged to find out which fishing regulations apply where you are going to fish. In the waters that Gällivare Fiskevårdsområde allows for fishing, the following fishing regulations apply:
The minimum permitted length for killing and keeping fish is: 35 cm for trout and grayling and 50 cm for salmon. The length of the fish is measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tail fin. In the Lina and Vassara rivers, it is only permitted to keep a maximum of one trout per fisherman per day in the size 35-45 cm. All trout that are larger or smaller than this measurement must be unconditionally released back (according to the Swedish Fisheries Board's regulations FIFS 2004:37). To protect the juvenile stages of salmonid fish, fishing with natural baits (worms, maggots, shrimp, bait fish and the like) is prohibited in all flowing waters. In order to protect the trout during spawning, fishing for trout is prohibited in flowing waters between 1 September and 14 October. Trout caught during this period must be unconditionally released, regardless of size. In order to protect the grayling during spawning, fishing for grayling is prohibited between 15 April and 31 May. Grayling caught during this period must be unconditionally released, regardless of size. Fishing for salmon is prohibited from 1 September to 31 December. Salmon caught during this period must be unconditionally released, regardless of size To limit the catch in smaller watercourses, ice fishing in flowing waters and seals is prohibited in all watercourses. Fishing with otters and comparable gear is prohibited, and fishing with a trolling line or cast line on which more than 3 hooks are attached is prohibited. In Noulajärvi, fishing from boats/floating rings is prohibited.
In Noualjärvi, a maximum of four fish of the species trout and rainbow trout may be kept per day and fisherman.
It is only permitted to fish with one rod per person.
The co-owner card entitles you to net fishing with a maximum of 5 nets. The net ban applies in all waters where fish are planted, i.e. Nuolajärvi, Sikträsk, Harrträsk, Suolasjön and in all running waters.
Free fishing applies to children up to and including 10 years of age. Young people/children aged 10-17 can buy a special youth card for a cheaper price.
When purchasing the co-owner card, the property name must be stated.
