Fishing is permitted in all waters within Norway's borders, and the waters must be open to everyone either via a fishing license or through free fishing. Fishing is only permitted with one rod per person, spinning or fly fishing. Only artificial baits are permitted.

The competition page is automatically updated on www.fishy.nu , and you can always keep track of who has the most centimeters.

Local fishing regulations must be followed, read up on where you are fishing and follow the rules.

The jury has the sole right to decide which fish will be approved or not.
Juyren can also deduct centimeters in case of incorrect measurement.

Registration and photography of fish

The trout must be photographed with a measuring tool that makes it easy for the competition management to verify the stated length. The entire measuring tool must be visible and clear and must not be on top of the fish. Photograph the fish with its head to the left of the photo. See more information below!

Registration takes place via the fishing app.

For a fish to be registered, the photos must be clear and correctly taken.

NOTE: Re-catches can be reported, BUT ONLY ONCE and not if the fish is caught ON THE SAME DAY!

All fish MUST be photographed lying down in such a way that it is clearly visible that the nose is in the zero position, and that the caudal fin is clearly towards the specified length. Otherwise, deductions may be made. You should preferably use a measuring board with a stop. Take many photos, always with the head to the left in the picture. Also take a posing photo that can be used in media/social media.

It is up to the participant to confirm that the measuring tool used is correct. Unclear images will be rejected, or an appropriate deduction in cm will be made. Checks of registered fish may be made several times during the competition, and corrections may be made if the jury deems it appropriate.

When the competition management approves the catch, it is registered and displayed on the website. Fiskeavisen.no reserves the right to use competition images to promote the competition in the media.

Rule changes may be made during the competition period if the organizers find reason to do so.

Good luck in this year's Trout Open Norway!

The competition is arranged by Fiskeavisen.no and Fri Media AS.
