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.

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.
