Fishery conservation: 
The Örträsk Fishery Conservation Area is dependent on your help in order to retain good fishing also in the future. A lack of fishing ethics, like overfishing, may be devastating to our natural stocks. Grayling and trout are particularly sensitive. Remember also that small and insignificant brooks may be spawning and growth habitats. If the grayling, which spawns in the spring, and the trout, which spawns in the autumn, are left to do so without human influence, we will get more, and hopefully bigger, fish in our main watercourses.
