No exchange of fishing licenses. Once you have reached the "bag limit", you are done fishing for the day. In 2024, new rules were introduced on Lake Runn in Falun regarding pike-perch fishing. The rules mean that all pike-perch during the period 15 May – 28 June must be released. In Lake Vikasjön, the conservation period is 1/5 - 15/6 . The purpose of the conservation period is to ensure a viable pike-perch population in the future. The current conservation periods coincide with the pike-perch spawning period and we ask all fishermen on the lake to respect the rules so that we can maintain a good population of pike-perch to fish in other parts of the year. The closed period from May 15 to June 28 applies to the entire area of Runn, including Ösjön and Liljan, while on Vikasjön it is from May 1 to June 15 .
