Närsån FVO NOTE: READ THE FISHING RULES CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU START FISHING. Generally Once the fishing license is paid for and ready, it must be on hand throughout the fishing trip and can be presented upon request by a supervisor. The fishing license is personal and may not be transferred. Methods Only rod fishing is allowed (spinning, angling and fly). Fishing with nets, traps, gillnets or other mass-catching gear is prohibited. Fishing with a maximum of two (2) rods per person and fishing license is permitted. Regardless of the number of rods, they should always be kept under supervision when actively fishing. Catch restrictions All pike and all trout must be released, year-round. Any caught pike or trout should be handled as carefully as possible and released immediately. Information about gentle catch & release can be read further down. From 1/3-31/5, all perch will be released back. At other times, a maximum catch of 3 perch under 30 cm per fisherman per day applies. All perch that are 30 cm or longer must be released. Other rules and guidelines The fish you are going to take home should be killed immediately and should not have to endure unnecessary suffering. Storing fish in keepnets or similar is permitted (not trout and pike) as long as the fish is not harmed. Driving is only allowed on designated roads. Respect prohibition signs. Show consideration for landowners and farmers. Private land may not be entered. Show respect for animals and nature and leave the fishing spot in a clean condition. Used fishing gear and other trash that ends up on the ground must be picked up. Keep it clean and tidy and you will contribute to everyone having a pleasant experience! Information about catch & release If you catch a fish and intend to release it, consider the following: - use a net (preferably knotless with rubber netting) and always avoid letting the fish lie on the ground. Wet rubber mats or so-called landing mats can be used to advantage when unhooking - handle the fish with wet hands - always minimize the exposure time of the fish above the surface (let the fish rest in the net in the water while you prepare the unhooking, camera, scales, etc.) - if the fish is to be weighed, use a wet bag, such as a weighing bag or plastic bag. - small treble hooks and single hooks are gentler on the fish and increase the survival of fish that are released. By following these simple steps, the fish have a better chance of recovering and surviving after release.
