## 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.

- [Fishing rules in Norway (NJFF)](https://www.njff.no/fiske/fiskeregler)
- [Salmon fishing: rules and state fee](https://www.miljodirektoratet.no/ansvarsomrader/arter-naturtyper/fiske/nar-kan-jeg-fiske-laks-sjoorret-og-sjoroye/)

There are 2 salmon fishing offers in this area. Fishing for salmon, sea trout and sea char in a watercourse requires the state fishing fee from age 18, on top of the fishing card, and all catches must be reported. [See the salmon guide](https://finnfisk.no/en/laksefiske)
