Rules for Crayfish Fishing 2026
•Crayfish fishing within Orsa FVOF is permitted from 9/8 in August to the 4th Sunday 27/9 in September. • It is forbidden to move crayfish from different waters as it spreads infection. • The bait in the cages must be from the same water where the cages are placed, or you must have purchased bait such as crayfish bait or dog food. • Max 6 cages per crayfish card • The cages/buoys/markers must be marked with name and phone number. • Minimum measurement from tip of forehead to tip of tail is 10 cm. • The crayfish card is only sold to Co-owners (Fishing License) and Local Residents registered in Orsa. • Partner and Local Card daily card 80:- and seasonal card 300:- • Fishing card is sold only via ifiske.se & Orsa Fiskecenter • We would be grateful for fishing reports regarding crayfish fishing.
Please note that the daily card is valid from the time of purchase until 23:59 the same day. If you fish overnight, you will therefore need to buy a card for two days. The seasonal card is valid throughout the crayfish fishing period and is very affordable if you want to fish overnight.
NOTE! In case of violation of the rules of the fishing conservation area association, an inspection fee may be charged according to the Act (1981:533) on fishing conservation areas. We will carry out inspections during the period. Unmarked cages/markers will be picked up. Inspection fee: 2,000 SEK Orsa FVOF 2026
