We do not sell fishing permits here! Unfortunately, iFiske does not sell fishing permits for this organisation; here you will only find information about this water. We naturally hope that in future we will also be able to offer fishing permits in Umeå Municipality. ... Welcome to Umeå Municipality's portal page! Here you can see all the fishing areas known to us in Umeå Municipality and its surroundings. Click the Map tab to see all fishing areas. Here you can also obtain fishing permits for the municipality's own waters: Nydalasjön, Sofiehemsdammen, Grössjön and Umeå stadsfiskeområde – part of the Umeälven. Click the Fishing permits tab to obtain your permit. The municipality's waters are marked in pink/purple on the map.

You can find the respective fishing area's website by clicking on the fishing area in the digital map under the Map tab. Some fishing areas do not sell digital fishing permits, for example Blåknuten SPK – Mjösjön and Botsmark SPK – Hedtjärn.
