The River Morrum - Sweden

The State Fishery on the River Morrum is the easiest and most accessable way to gain an opportunity to catch one of the massive Salmon and Sea Trout that this river is famous for.  The Morrum fishery is located in the village of Morrum and is divided into two beats covering the lowest 7 miles of the river before it flows into the sea. the fishery consits of 32 pools which have various restrictions. The fishing is not prolific but the salmon are a very good size, normally between 15-40lbs. A good place when visiting to gain a insight to how big the fish are is to spend some time at the weighing in station to see the fish that people are keeping.  The fishery website is also full of these photos of these massive fish.

The river has a restriction of one salmon per day which leaes you with an interesting choice if you catch a "smaller double figure" fish early in the day what do do with it! During September all salmon, seatrout and hybrid females must be released.
Because of this it is also prohibited to use a gaff during the months of April and September.

The season runs from 1st April to September 30th, although due to high water temperatures during hotter years it can be difficult to tempt Salmon after May. The back end can be very good for very big sea trout, however.
