Municipality

Herøy has 29 named lakes in NVE's lake database. The full list is below. A water on the list is not permission to fish it: check rules and fishing cards locally.

Norway has two municipalities called Herøy, one in [Møre og Romsdal](https://finnfisk.no/en/fylke/more-og-romsdal) and one in [Nordland](https://finnfisk.no/en/fylke/nordland). Finnfisk reads the lakes from NVE by municipality name, so it merges the two. The numbers on this page cover both.

## Species recorded here

- [Atlantic salmon 65](https://finnfisk.no/en/laksefiske)

The number is how many occurrence records GBIF holds, not a measure of how much fish there is. It says the species has been observed in the municipality, not that it is in any particular water, and not that fishing for it is permitted.

## Watercourses

The main watercourses the municipality’s waters drain into, by number of waters. The watercourse often decides which rules apply, since regulations are written per watercourse.

## 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.
