Municipality · Vestland

Bergen has 110 named lakes in NVE's lake database, and 9 of them have a fishing-card offer on inatur nearby. A water on the list is not permission to fish it: check what the card actually covers.

The fishing card nearby does not cover Hamretjørna, Hauglandsvatnet, Jordavatnet, Klokkarvatnet, Langetjørna, Skoratjørna and Ågottjørna. The water pages say why, and who decides.

## The rules for this area

Finnfisk does not reproduce local rules, because they are set per water and per watercourse and they change. Season, minimum and maximum sizes, daily quotas and closed seasons come from the rights holder who sells the card, and from the regional regulation.
