Handling of fish that because of injury must be killed
Fish that is sick or seriously injured (e.g. from deep hooking and serious bleeding) must not be released, but should instead be killed immediately as soon as injury is discovered. All killed salmon that is outside (in excess) of the legal quota (max one salmon over 80 cm and one female salmon) should be delivered at one of the local nursing homes.
At the nursing home you must sign a paper that the fish is treated according to guidelines (see below) and the nursing home sign a receipt to confirm that the fish is delivered. A copy (or a photo of the receipt) should be sent by email or sms to Orkla Local River Management email: rune@orklaguide.com or sms to phone + 47 924 01 517.
