Gällivare municipality General fishing rules above the cultivation limit on state land managed by the County Administrative Board in Norrbotten: • A fishing permit is required and can be purchased either online (www.natureit.se) or from local retailers (listed below). • There’s a daily limit on the number of salmonid fish you can keep. Catch limit (trout and grayling): 5 fish in total, e.g. 2 trout and 3 grayling. • If you want to keep your catch, salmonid fish must be of a certain size (minimum length): - Grayling (35 cm) - Trout (35 cm) - Salmon (50 cm) Captured fish are measured from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. • There are additional restrictions in three rivers, i.e. Kalixälven, Linaälven, and Kaitumälven. In these waters you are only allowed to keep one trout per day with a minimum length of 35 cm and a maximum length of 45 cm (FIFS 2004:37). Grayling fishing is also forbidden from the 15th of April until 10th of June (FIFS 2004:37). • It is forbidden to use live bait (worms, insect larvae, crustaceans, fish etc.) in streams and rivers. If there are exceptions it is stated in your fishing permit. These rules have been enforced to protect juvenile salmonids (grayling, trout, and salmon). • To ensure the subsistence of viable populations, trout fishing is not allowed in streams and rivers during spawning, i.e. from the 1st of September until the 14th of October. If you catch a trout by accident you must release it even if it is within the size limits or injured. • It is forbidden to confine fish or to restrict their movements in order to keep them alive until consumption or until bigger fish are caught. • In two rivers, i.e. Kalixälven and Kaitumälven, you are not allowed to keep female salmon. All females must be released because of their disproportionate effects on the reproductive success of salmon populations. • Grayling fishing is forbidden between the 10th of May and the 10th of June in three municipalities (Arjeplog, Jokkmokk, and Gällivare), and between the 15th of May and 15th of June in the municipality of Kiruna. Restrictions are enforced to protect the 1 grayling during spawning. If you catch a grayling by accident you must release it even if it is within the size limits or injured. • Fishing is not allowed from boats in Kaitumälven. • To protect fish populations from overexploitation, ice fishing is forbidden in all rivers apart from Piteälven, Kalixälven and Torneälven. Ice fishing is also prohibited in streams and lake-like (wide and slow-flowing) segments of rivers other than Piteälven, Kalixälven and Torneälven. Please remember that you alone are responsible for making informed decisions. Before you go fishing make sure that you understand all local rules and restrictions. Further restrictions can also be enforced by the County Administrative Board.

In fact, fishing grounds are often part of nature reserves in alpine regions of Norrbotten. Here you are free to go fishing with a standard fishing permit, but you are also safe in assuming that future generations will continue to enjoy these pristine forests and unspoiled waters.
