Enningdal (Berby River) is the name of the 13 km long river stretch between the sea Bullaren in Sweden and Iddefjorden in Halden municipality. For fishing enthusiasts are Enningdal known as a great salmon river, salmon with a record of 17.7 kg and average weight of 4.5 kg. The river fishing opens on 23 May and the fishing ends August 15. AJFF Halden manage and cultivate the river. They have done with enthusiasm since 1986.

 

Renegotiation of iddefjordskonvensjonen meant that the new rules apply from 2010. Sport fishing in the river has been shortened by one week, starting now 23 May. Net fishing in Iddefjorden starts a week before May 16 and end on 15 August, along with sport fishing. Compared with Norway in general, then fished it 3 times as long as the yarn cross-fjord Iddefjorden. This is a result of negotiations with the Swedish authorities.

Enningdalsvassdraget is one of very few major salmon rivers in southeastern Norway. Watershed, much of its original natural watercourse intact and has an early migratory salmon population who are moderately affected by outside influences. Enningdal is the sydøstligste salmon rivers and the border is managed in cooperation with Sweden.
Enningdal have their sources in the northern Boksjø-tracts in Aremark, Halden and Dals Ed (Sweden), following the border in Southern Boksjø, Hallerødelva, North Kornsjø, go through Mellan-Kornsjön, Southern Kornsjön, preach älv and Bullaresjöene in Sweden, angles north and go about 1 mil in Idd as Enningdal / Berby River. The river has 1/3 of the catchment area in Østfold and 2/3 in Dalsland / Bohuslän. North and South Boksjø are the main lakes of the upper river. The main page includes Ørsjøen river. This page waterway joins Enningdal about 1 km before it flows into Iddefjorden. Elja is a branch west of the northern Kornsjø that runs along the main river near the mouths of Bullaresjøen close to the border to Sweden. Bright Water and Upper Elgvatn belong to this sidegreinen.

The catchment area is dominated by coniferous forest 70%, water 11%, 11% marsh and arable land 8%. According to NVE's water register has 60 river lakes larger than 1.2 ha, with a total area of 29,146 square kilometers. Most lakes on the Norwegian side is located between 120-220 m Length of natural salmon distance: 29 km

Subject: The Multiannual plan for the Baltic salmon stock and fisheries – Phase out the offshore fishery

Dear MEP, Marek Gróbarczyk, Rapporteur of OPINION of the Committee on Fisheries on the Multiannual plan for the Baltic salmon stock and fisheries

I am writing to you concerning the European Union's plan for a new multiannual plan for the Baltic Salmon stock and fisheries.

I am sure you are aware of but I would like to reiterate the following. Baltic salmon consists of several different populations that originate from over 33 different river systems. The majority of these river populations are very weak or threatened e.g. only 58 spawning salmon were counted at the Swedish Åby river system and 13 fish in the Rickle river during the 2011 season. The present management system allows for a fishery on mixed salmon stocks at sea and thereby threatens survival of our weakest Baltic salmon populations. The creation of a new Baltic salmon management plan gives a unique opportunity to form a sustainable, economically sound and just system that allows the countries of the Baltic region to fully unleash the potential for development that this unique resource salmon gives.

I believe that salmon should be allowed to return to their natal river systems for reproduction and small scale utilization based upon each river stocks specific capacity. This would allow for conservation of weak stocks and creation of a modern sustainable utilization of the salmon resource.

Phase out the commercial open sea fishery on mixed stocks of Baltic Sea salmon.

Yours faithfully,
(Your name)

Please help us all anglers and nature lovers, by writing this.

Nä nu kan jag inte låta bli, jag har skrivit om Bornholm på min sida men jag har uttryckligen skrivit att jag inte är emot Trolling men tävlings formen i sig då menar jag att dom 6 största ska vägas in.. det är inte okej. Nu är jag flugfiskare själv så jag förstår en del av era argument men vissa av er är helt ute och cyklar, tänker då på alla er som skriker på Facebook ang. Bornholm Trolling Masters.

 

Hur är det med tex. med det tidiga vår fisket i älvarna som många av er bedriver där man på den ena hemsidan efter den andra kan se bilder på hur man poserar med utlekta laxar (den som ni värnar om) borde man inte stå över detta ? är det verkligen okej att starta sitt laxfiske i tex Mörrum på premiären eller ännu tidigare uppe i Svängsta mm. Nu tror/vet jag att dessa inte slås ihjäl men är det rätt att ens fiska på dem i detta tillstånd ?

 

Är det verkligen okej att starta fisket så tidigt i tex Mörrum, hur många blanklaxar finns det där då ?. Det är ju samma som om dom Norska älvarna skulle öppna i mars/april månad ? Hade det varit okej ?


Nej en gemensam insatts oavsett hur man sportfiskar då tänker jag på regler som gör det bättre för laxen, som tex Johan Abelsson nämner på Facebook inför för nästa år, en kraftig bag limit skall införas oavsett hur man bedriver sitt Sportfiske.

 

 

Jag gick in på Mörrums hemsida och hämtade lite text och bild som ni ser nedan, är detta att värna om den så sköra lax stam som vi har ?, nej det är det inte enl. mig i alla fall.

 

Så istället för att slänga skit på varandra så tror jag att vi alla behöver samla oss och vara eniga om hur respektive sportfiske metod skall bedrivas för att värna om laxen.

 

Hur man organiserar detta är jag inte rätt man att ut tala mig om men jag kommer att ta ett samtal med Martin Falklind om detta.

Sveaskogs nya VD P-O Wedin fångade premiärlax 2012-03-30 05:04


Sveaskogs nya VD gästade Mörrums Kronolaxfiske för första gången. Han fångade en stor laxhona strax innan poolbyte i "fyran". Efter en spännande drillning landades fisken säkert och återutattes varsamt till sitt rätta element.

 

"hämtat från mörrums hemsida finns inga uppgifter om vem som har skrivit eller fotograferat"

 

Fiskar i detta tillstånd är det Sportfiske ? borde vi ens ges möjligheten att fånga dem ?

We have a few vacant rods to Alaska this summer

The big wild of Alaska (13-20 of July)


You won't need a coat and tie to wear to dinner, nor will you have to worry about tracking mud on the carpet. No one will be offended by your cigar smoke or your drink spilled laughing around the campfire.

You will catch fish till your arms are sore and your back aches, and you'll take home a box of Kanektok treasure for your efforts. Welcome to Alaska!

 

We have a few vacant rods, for more information contact me or Reid Hagelin 

World-Class Remote Fishing


The Kanektok is a fish factory. With runs of all five species of Pacific salmon, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden and grayling, the river provides a great mix of quantity and variety. Our location on the river, 5.5 miles from its mouth, puts us in a unique position to sample the variety the river has to offer.

Downriver from our camp is the larger water, including the long gravel bars where the kings hold, the deep snaggy channels where the big rainbows lie, the backwaters that load with silvers and the tidewaters full of salmon fresh from the salt. Upriver from our camp, the river makes a transition to smaller water, side channels and tributaries. These sections allow hiking up channels for rainbows, targeting salmon in smaller water, making day-long drifts fishing for "anything" and working extremely productive dolly flats.

 

Run Timing


Our season at Alaska West on the Kanektok River is only 12 weeks long, but things change quickly during that period. Summer in Western Alaska is short! A lot happens between on the river between May and September – ice goes out, runoff comes and goes, five salmon species enter the river and spawn, rainbows, dollies and grayling have a feast on salmon eggs and flesh and before you know it the days are short and the morning frost has returned.

 

If you're planning a trip to the Kanektok, it's important to understand the river's run timing – this chart will help. From mid-June to mid-July, king salmon are the most popular target, with rainbow fishing picking up in July as well. The second half of July provides a shot at the salmon grand slam (all five species, all on flies, in one day), and the most varied rainbow fishing. In August and early September, silver mania sweeps the Kanektok and the trout just keep getting fatter as fall arrives. It's at least three fisheries in one – take your pick!

Comfortable, Casual Accommodations


Anglers sleep in heated tents with carpeted wooden floors. Our dining tent gives plenty of room to spread out, relax and enjoy our Alaska Gourmet cuisine.

 

We provide showers and sinks with hot and cold running water, and our outhouse facilities are cleaned and emptied every day.

If you're looking for white linen tablecloths, you should look elsewhere. If you're looking for a very comfortable place to spend the week fishing, relaxing and enjoying a little corner of Alaska, you've come to the right place.

 

We call our facility a "tent lodge." It is made up of a combination of permanent and semi-permanent structures, and is designed to combine comfortable living, eating and lounging areas with a location right on top of a phenomenal river. Dining Tent

 

The dining tent is a spacious 24′x 60′ heated structure with wood floors and is always kept neat and clean. Our kitchen has the state of the art equipment such as gas ranges, convection oven, microwave, refrigerators and freezers. Lounge Tent

 

The lounge is great place to relax after a full day of fishing. This large heated tent is furnished with comfortable chairs and tables. At your disposal are a refrigerator with cool soda, juices and mixers, poker chips with cards, board games, dart board, magazines, books, map board, telephone, satellite television and an online camp computer. We also have a fly tying bench with a limited supply of fly tying materials and vises.

Drying Tent


After returning from your day's fishing adventure this tent serves as a place for you to hang your wet waders, coats, boots and anything else you don't want wet or dirty in your sleeping quarters. Gazebo/Viewing


Deck


This split-level wood structure has a great river view. The bottom area is open-air and enclosed with fine mesh bug screen. This is a great place to sit and enjoy the midnight sun without being bothered by our little biting buddies. Directly above is the viewing deck. Bring your camera– the sunsets can be breathtaking! Showers and


Restrooms/Outhouses


Our showers have hot and cold running water with a sink basin and chair. They are cleaned daily. Our restrooms are indeed outhouses. They too are cleaned daily and they are strategically located near your tent cabin. Tent Cabins/Sleeping Quarters

Your heated tent cabin is furnished with two single beds with full bedding and pillow, clean shower linen, nightstand, hang-down bug net, lantern, carpeted floor and clothes hangers. Our housekeeping staff will come through daily to make beds, empty trash and tidy up to ensure your new home stays neat and clean.

 

Our Staff


Visiting Alaska West means spending a week in our own little village in the middle of the Alaskan bush. The staff that supports our facility is a major reason that many of our guests choose to return year after year.

 

Besides our best-in-industry guide staff, our team includes mechanics and camp helpers, a gourmet chef and kitchen staff, housekeepers, managers and a dedicated camp host. Although our guests see nothing but smooth operations and great days of fishing, back at camp our crack team is maintaining motors, preparing meals, smoking and freezing salmon, cleaning tent cabins, doing laundry, making repairs, and just generally making sure that all you need to worry about is making the next cast!

 

Ours is a hardcore team of professionals that loves the Alaskan summer, the bounty of the Kanektok, the opportunity to spend time with our guests, and the chance to work hard in the middle of the bush. They make Alaska West the special place that it is.

 

Our Guides


At first glance, their faces would blend into the crowd on a street corner in Seattle. Some look like mosh-pit-generation-Xers, some have the look of homeless vagrants. Scruffy partially shaven faces, eyes obscured by hip-looking dark sunglasses, sun bleached clothing and shoes worn to tatters. The whole ensemble complete with the baggy pants.

 

Second glance would reveal the well tanned faces of dudes spending entirely too much time on the river. The faded clothing sport labels from Sage, Simms and other makers of the finest technical outerwear money can buy. The glasses are equipped with the best optically ground polarized lenses available. The baggy pants are state of the art Gore-tex breathable waders.

 

The well-worn look comes from incredibly hard working professionals who stop at nothing short of "making it happen" for our angling clientele. The equipment, although an integral part of the ensemble, is second only to the can-do attitude, enthusiasm and expertise of this exceptional group of individuals. Alaska West is very proud of its entire staff. The crew is comprised of motivated, dedicated and highly skilled persons, whose commitment to a good job well done is seldom equaled in this industry.

Maybe today. Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.
