Large salmon has ended!
The extraordinary large salmon-limit in the Beiar river has ended. Thank you to all the fishermen who have fished the river in this period, to everyone who has helped landing big salmon, and to the people who have respected our rules for this special fishery. From tomorrow on, we continue the normal limit.
The limit has been reached! From midnight the 12th of August (night before 13th) all wild salmon over 65cm are to be carefully released back in to the river. Thank you to all of you that are following the current rules. We kept around 25 fish on the limit for youth fishermen, and accidentally killed oversize salmon for the rest of the season. Good luck with the fishing going forward.
