ABOUT US

Salmon fishing in river Mörrumsån has a very long tradition, with royal connections since time immemorial. The original spears were gradually replaced by salmon tubs, hoop nets, salmon seines and salmon nets, which were in use as late as the mid 1960s. Today, however, all commercial salmon fishing has ceased, but the old permanent fishing areas at Kungsforsen and Hönebygget, can still be seen. The only other salmon and sea trout fishing allowed is angling.
