Do I need a fishing license?

We recommend the canoe fishing permit, as it’s specifically designed for paddlers. Compared to the iFiske card, it covers more fishing areas and is therefore more cost-effective. Additionally, the canoe fishing permit is flexible, allowing for 2 rods (2 people) whether you’re in one canoe or using two single kayaks.

What does the canoe fishing permit allow?

Allowed equipment:

  • Fishing with one rod, fly, or spinner per person. A maximum of 2 rods per canoe or 2 rods split between 2 people using kayaks is permitted.
  • Covered areas: The permit covers all major fishing waters in the region, including: LelÃ¥ng, Foxen, Blomskog, Stora Le (eastern section near Foxen), Östra and Västra Silen, Östervallskog, Järnsjö, Töck-Hurrsjöarna.

Seasonal restrictions:

  • Salmon and trout species are protected from September 1 until the end of the year and may not be caught during this period.

Regulations and size limits:

  • The minimum size for salmon, trout, and char is 60 cm.
  • The fishing permit is personal and must be carried during fishing. It should be presented upon request to fishing supervisors or fishing rights owners.

Regulations for children:

  • Children under 12 may fish without a permit but must be accompanied by an adult holding a valid fishing permit.
