Preliminary report salmonfishing 2008

Directorate for Nature Management 10. sept:
Orkla: The average weight is high (5,5 kg/12,12 Pound), and the element of grillse (34,8%) will be higher than season 2007. Total catch seems to be around average years level (25 ton), this means that if the sea-netfishing had started 1. june instead of 20. june, the result would have been relatively poor in total. Evaluation of the catch against the SPAWNING TARGET have been done for the largest riversystems, for Orkla this is for sure succeed. Catch and release have been highly practiced, estimated to 20-25% of the catches have been released in Orkla.
