The lower Örekil-river´s fishing
district contains all of the river, from the outlet of the lake "Kärnsjön" by
"Torpdammen" to the north, to and including the river´s mouth in
"Saltkällefjorden" by Munkedal´s habour to the south.
The opening day of the fishing-season is
May 15th and the season ends on September 30th. The regions are the same as last
year, and with the same special areas for fly- fishing. Information about the fishing
regions, fly-fishing areas, pools etc. can be found
on the fishingmap.
The General Public have the possibility to purchase fishing
licences to three different regions of the river, A, B and C. Pre-bookings of fishing
licences can be done at "Sportfiskekontoret" (Sport Fishing Office) after
April

| All the fishing regions are well marked with posts. The boundaries
for the fly-fishing areas are marked with orange posts (region A and B). In the
fly-fishing areas fishing is only allowed with fly-rod with fly-fishing line. Fishing is
allowed on the whole river in all of the three regions, but to avoid "tangling with
others" there are parts of the river where fishing is allowed from only one shore of
the river. |
 |
Fishing from boats, boat jetties or from private land is not
allowed. Fishing licences are valid for one day, from 00.00 to 24.00 on the day listed on
the licence. All the fishing rules and regulations, and good fishing ethics, are to be
followed. |
