A fishing license applies to all species except crayfish, which may not be fished. Walleyes to be picked up and eaten must be at least 50 cm, but of course smaller walleyes and all other fish that are injured must also be euthanized. Some of the islands in Solgen are covered with access bans during certain times of the year so as not to disturb nesting birds. Signs are posted on these islands.
