Femund-Trysilvassdragets fiskefond

The Femund-Trysilvassdragets fiskefond is a fish conservation and development fund jointly owned and managed by Trysil and Engerdal municipalities in Norway. The fund has a capital of 10 million Norwegian kroner, which was received as compensation for the loss of the Vänern salmon. The fund is dedicated to fish-promoting initiatives in the Femund-Trysil watershed, including securing and developing local fish populations, and motivating and improving fishing opportunities based on these populations. The fund supports various initiatives such as cultivation measures that ensure and improve recruitment conditions and habitats for local fish populations, physical facilitation measures that improve fishing opportunities (trails, fishing spots, etc.), information about fishing opportunities, organization of larger fishing license areas, and mapping/monitoring of fish populations and recreational fishing development. A prerequisite for receiving support is that the initiative improves public fishing opportunities to the greatest extent possible and is publicly accessible.
