1 Arjeplog municipality General fishing rules above the cultivation limit on state land managed by the County Administrative Board in Norrbotten: A fishing permit is required and can be purchased either online ( or from local retailers (listed below). There s a daily limit on the number of salmonid fish you can keep. Catch limit (trout and grayling): 5 fish in total, e.g. 2 trout and 3 grayling. If you want to keep your catch, salmonid fish must be of a certain size (minimum length): - Grayling (35 cm) - Trout (35 cm) - Salmon (50 cm) Captured fish are measured from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. It is forbidden to use live bait (worms, insect larvae, crustaceans, fish etc.) in streams and rivers. If there are exceptions it is stated in your fishing permit. These rules have been enforced to protect juvenile salmonids (grayling, trout, and salmon). To ensure the subsistence of viable populations, trout fishing is not allowed in streams and rivers during spawning, i.e. from the 1 st of September until the 14 th of October. If you catch a trout by accident you must release it even if it is within the size limits or injured. Grayling fishing is forbidden between the 10 th of May and the 10 th of June in three municipalities (Arjeplog, Jokkmokk, and Gällivare), and between the 15 th of May and 15 th of June in the municipality of Kiruna. Restrictions are enforced to protect the grayling during spawning. If you catch a grayling by accident you must release it even if it is within the size limits or injured. To protect fish populations from overexploitation, ice fishing is forbidden in all rivers apart from Piteälven, Kalixälven and Torneälven. Ice fishing is also prohibited in streams and lake-like (wide and slow-flowing) segments of rivers other than Piteälven, Kalixälven and Torneälven. It is forbidden to confine fish or to restrict their movements in order to keep them alive until consumption or until bigger fish are caught. Please remember that you alone are responsible for making informed decisions. Before you go fishing make sure that you understand all local rules and restrictions. Further restrictions 1

5 Additional information associated with the map (English translation) Nature reserves (In Swedish: Fiske i naturreservat) Nature reserves are open to the public. In fact, fishing grounds are often part of nature reserves in alpine regions of Norrbotten. Here you are free to go fishing with a standard fishing permit, but you are also safe in assuming that future generations will continue to enjoy these pristine forests and unspoiled waters. To learn more about nature protection in Norrbotten, please visit our website: Tourist Information Centres will also be able to provide folders with extensive information.
