Both killed, released fish or “no-catch” must be registered and reported at your fishing license within 1 day after the fishing stops.
All life-damaged and therefore killed fish (above the maximum size or below the minimum size) must immediately be reported to the license seller by SMS, phone or physical meeting. The fish must
physical be presented the landowner or fishing license seller.
Shell samples from all killed fish (including farmed fish) must be put into specially designed envelopes and delivered to the landowner or license seller at the end of fishing.
All fish must be treated as gently as possible into the water to avoid mortality, when practicing catch and release. Suitable pliers must be used when removing the hook as well as knotless net when landing the fish. One tip on how to measure the length of the fish is to add a mark on your rod at 65 cm.
Significant violations of the fishing rules must be reported to license seller or salmon office at Storjord.
