Rules regarding boats and other vessels Boats may be used on all waters except Djuptjärn, Österholmtjärn, Västerholmtjärn and Älgkalvtjärn. However, on these lakes you may use a float ring, see below. Special rules apply to floating rings: Float fishermen give way to those fishing from land. Approved floats must be designed as a "traditional" float and be moved by paddling with the feet. If the float is propelled with oars, it is considered a boat. This is not permitted. No type of engine is allowed. Own boats, inflatable boats, canoes and kayaks, etc. are not allowed in the deep pond group. If you want to use, for example, an iCROSS or other variants of float rings that are not "traditional", you must first contact FVOF and get approval from us either on our Facebook page or by calling or texting 0725 - 29 44 73.
