The lower Örekil-river´s fishing

"Saltkällefjorden" by Munkedal´s habour to the south.

regions, fly-fishing areas, pools etc. can be found

Please note the rule that
throughout the fishing season (May 1 – September 30)

All the fishing regions are well marked with posts. The boundaries
for the fly-fishing areas are marked with orange posts (region A and B). In the
fly-fishing areas fishing is only allowed with fly-rod with fly-fishing line. Fishing is
allowed on the whole river in all of the three regions, but to avoid "tangling with
others" there are parts of the river where fishing is allowed from only one shore of
the river. Please note that fishing in pool # 27 (above
Kvistrum bridge) is restricted, so that fishing is not allowed from
the western side of the river, but only from the eastern side. |
 |
|
Fishing from boats, boat jetties or from private land is not
allowed. Fishing licences are valid for one day, from 00.00 to 24.00 on the day listed on
the licence. All the fishing rules and regulations, and good fishing ethics, are to be
followed. |
