Rules (
Nedre Glomma Gjeddefestival 2023 - NM Gjeddefiske
)This year, it will not be allowed to use modern aids such as Livescope, Mega Live, Live360, Active target, etc. This has been decided based on the results of the evaluation carried out in advance.
The team competition applies per boat, and a maximum of 4 participants are allowed per team.
Anyone who has this installed on their boat must either remove the transmitter or the "black box" so that Livescope cannot be used. Random checks may also be carried out to verify this both before and during the race.
All catches MUST be recorded using the Fishy app and the assigned registration code you received when you signed up for Fishy in order to be approved. Take a picture via the app and remember that it is the top line on the measuring stick that counts. It is allowed to pinch the tail fin. The fish must pass the line to be approved for length.
According to the rules for fishing in Glomma, you are only allowed to keep 2 fish per day, and all pike over 80 cm MUST be released back. Fish that are not to be used as food must also be released back.
Fishing is permitted with up to 6 rods per boat.
Fishing with methods other than a fishing rod is not permitted.
Fishing methods that are not approved in Norway are not allowed (live bait, pike scissors, etc.). As previously mentioned, Livescope is also not allowed.
Other auxiliary equipment such as Paravan, depth rig and echo sounder are allowed, but everyone must act carefully and not "block" the water with equipment that extends far out from the boat and is a nuisance to other participants.
When fishing from shore, only 3 rods per person are allowed.
The fishing competition stretches from Vamma (Askim) to Opsundtangen (Sarpsborg)
Boat departures begin after information is distributed at Furuholmen at 09:30, but fishing begins FIRST at 10:00. Fishing closes on Sunday at 14:00, and all boats must be in by 14:30 on Sunday.
NOTE: Boats that are not back before 2:30 PM will be grounded.
In the event of a tie in the competitions, the length of the next fish will determine who wins.
NOTE: Boats without approved flotation devices for everyone on board will be denied entry into the competition.
