Regulations:
Check out the regulations when visiting the river, they can vary from one year to another.
Only traditional fly- and spinfishing are allowed. Bait, as worms, shrimps, bread are
forbidden. Also fishing with spin dobs (floating) and fishing from boats are forbidden.
The stretch are divides in flyfishing pools and spinfishing pools, some pools are mixed.
But the rules are that even if there are no flyfishermen in a flyfishing pool it is not
permitted to spinfish here and vice verse. Minimum size for caught Salmon and sea trout
are 500 mm. All kept Salmon and sea trout shall be weighed and measured at the
sportfishing office the same day they are caught
To recommend equipment are difficult
because preferences vary between fishermen some prefere two-handed rods and some prefere
single-hand rods. At the early spring fishing the two handed rods are common, usually a
12-14 feet long rod class 10-12 with a lot of backing (200 m). Later at summer and in the
fall, many fishermen uses single-handed rods. In general terms; at normal water levels it
is more than enough to use a single-handed 9 feet long rod class 7-9. Leader thickness;
0,30mm - 0,45mm when fishing for seatrout and when fishing for Salmon it can be a good
idea to use up to 0,50mm.
Fly suggestions: Ullsock, Chillimps, Red Sandy, Silver Grey, Durham
Ranger, Thunder and Lightning and Brown Bomber. Flies dominating in red are very popular
in river Mörrumsån.
When spin fishing; most fishermen uses
a double-handed 8,5-10 feet long rod equipped with 0,35 mm-0,45 mm line
Lure suggestion: Toby lure, Mörrumsspinnare, Myrspinnare, Reflexspinnare
and also many use flies when spin fishing (tube flies)
Fl= flyfishing only
Sp= spinfishing only
Fl, Sp= combined flyfishing/spinfishing pool
