Norway Fishing Holidays

A stunning coastline, relatively sheltered fjords and amazing sea fishing for big and prolific Cod, Wolf fish, Halibut, Coalfish, and Haddock. Fishing is on the drift using pirks and shads.

April to October is the main season with the warmer months of late May into early September being the prime time. The sun in Northern Norway never drops below the horizon from late May to early August creating the “LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN”.

Hitra is reached via Trondheim airport and in early spring (March), huge Ling are the target species. In the far north our fishing centres are via Tromso and Alta airports.

Our sea fishing centres along the scenic coast of Norway offer comfortable, well-equipped accommodation with excellent access to some of the region’s best fishing grounds. A range of apartments, cabins and houses are available, all conveniently located close to harbours for easy boat access. Accommodation options vary from two-bedroom properties to larger houses that can host up to eight guests. Heating, lighting and bed linen are included at all centres.
Most locations offer airport-to-accommodation transfers, although self-drive car hire is also available. Some centres can also be reached by ferry, with details provided under each individual property.
Self-drive fishing boats are popular, and some centres also offer skippered fishing trips. For self-drive boats, at least one member of the group must hold a valid boat operator’s certification.

Anglers World Holidays have spent nearly two decades exploring and researching the outstanding sea fishing found in Norway’s northern waters. The prime time to target large coastal cod and halibut runs from spring through to early autumn. During the summer months, as water temperatures rise, large coalfish move into the fjords in impressive numbers. Halibut fishing is typically at its best from July through October.

Fishing these rich, pristine waters is usually done on the drift using pirks and shads, with shads often proving especially effective for catching the biggest cod and halibut. Each fishing centre provides guidance on the most productive marks—of which there are many. Water charts are supplied, and all boats are equipped with echo sounders and chart plotters to help anglers locate the best fishing grounds.
