Municipality · Oslo

Oslo has 166 named lakes in NVE's lake database, and 23 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.

Fishing is forbidden in Kringla, Lille Gryta, Maridalsvannet, Nedre Svartkulp, Setertjern, Skjersjøen, Store Gryta and Øvre Svartkulp, although a fishing-card offer lies nearby. The water pages say why, and who decides.

## 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.

- [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)
