About Fiskekort

Sweden has over 100 000 lakes and thousands of fishing-rights associations (FVOFs). Each association sets the rules for its water — which species you can keep, minimum sizes, closed seasons, allowed methods. Knowing what applies where you're standing on the bank shouldn't require a degree in archival research.

We want the angler to find the right water, know exactly what the rules are there, and buy a licence without hassle. And we want the FVOF to have an easy way to sell licences without expensive middlemen.

We only use open, licence-friendly sources:

• OpenStreetMap — map data for 19 000+ Swedish lakes (ODbL).
• Wikidata + Wikipedia — area, max depth, elevation, and links to the article. Wikidata facts are CC0; we link to Wikipedia rather than republishing.
• Wikimedia Commons — lake photos with proper photographer attribution and licence (CC BY / BY-SA / CC0).
• SLU NORS (via GBIF) — scientific survey fishing. Waters where NORS has confirmed the species are marked Verified species data.
• SMHI — per-coordinate weather forecasts (open data).

• We don't scrape other licence sites. Everything we show comes from open sources or from the FVOFs themselves.
• We don't share your personal data with advertisers. We don't run ads at all.
• We don't use tracking cookies. Read the privacy policy.
