Abstract

The Order aims to ensure appropriate fishing methods for trouts which is only allowed between 15 June and 25 September. The municipal council shall draw up every 5 years a list of potentially good trout streams considered most threatened by excessive fishing. Fishing with net in rivers and reservoirs is prohibited. When fishing in lakes, it is prohibited to set nets closer than 100 meters distance and may not cover more than 1/3 of the distance from shore to shore. In areas where stone dam has been used to block catch, the dam must be opened for passage before vacating the fishing area.
