Bureälvens has a unique pikeperch population, one of the few in Norrland. We are afraid of this and therefore have certain restrictions on pikeperch fishing.
Recommendation pike:
Release all pike over 100cm, large individuals are important for the stocks and if released again they will have more chances to catch the dream fish.
Conservation periods for the Bure River:
- 1 / 9-14 / 10 - fishing for trout and salmon prohibited during their spawning period, this according to law (FIFS 2004: 36). The Fisheries Conservation Association has decided on total protection during this period. NO fishing may occur in the Bure River during the trout and salmon spawning season. (applies to the current section Bursjön to the sea + Vikfors)
- 15/4 - 31/5 Conservation period for grayling, no fishing for the species may be conducted during this period.
