Species recorded in Akershus

The guides to the species with the most records: brown trout, perch and pike.

The rules in Akershus

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. The regional fishing authority in Akershus is the County Governor of Østfold, Buskerud, Oslo og Akershus, Statsforvalteren.

Sources: NVE lake database (waters), GBIF (species records), SSB (municipality and county) and inatur (fishing cards). Every number is the sum of the municipality pages in the county. Rules are not reproduced here, verify locally.
