The bus usually stops at the grocery store to buy food for the first few days. It is also possible to fly to Alta and rent a car, then take the ferry from Oksfjord out to Soroya. A good option with access to a car if there is an interest in sightseeing on the island or fishing for trout on the mountain.

The weather in this remote part of the world can be testing to say the least and can change in the blink of an eye, but the fishing is world class and well worth the gamble to target the world’s biggest cod.

He has also helped anglers catch hundreds of cod to 70lb.

Fishing around Soroya
Soroya is a fantastic destination for sea fishing, offering a stunning natural backdrop and diverse marine wildlife. It is a well-known for the skrei cod fishing, which is absolutely top class with fantastic amounts of large cod. Halibut is another popular species and really big halibut over 2m are caught every year. The fishing season starts in the middle of February and most of the fishing takes place relatively close to land, about 3-10nm from the camp, and it is usually very large fish. Skrei season lasts from mid-February to the end of April. In worse weather, fishing for halibut in places close to land is often possible, as well as good fishing for plaice and large flounder outside the harbour.

From mid-April to August, there is varied fishing with more focus on halibut, but still good cod fishing, with a chance for real large cod. The deep edges around Soroya also hold record-sized kingfish and it is also a good period for grayling, catfish, ling, haddock, plaice, sand flounder, etc. In the autumn, the main focus is on halibut, which move into shallower water when the temperature drops.

October is the month when the most 150cm+ halibut are usually landed. In poorer weather, plaice fishing is good when they gather for the upcoming spawn. The plaice are usually very thick and fully fed during September/October, a clearly underestimated sport fish that requires finesse to be tricked into a bite and fights well. The cod fishing can be fantastic in the autumn and some grounds tend to deliver very large fish over 20kg for those keen on more combined fishing.

Wildlife viewing
The island’s diverse ecosystems from coastal areas to the mountainous inland also provide a habitat for a range of wildlife. Soroya is home to numerous bird species, including seabirds like puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes. You can observe these birds nesting along the cliffs and rocky shores. The surrounding waters are teeming with marine life, including whales and seals.

The Arctic fox is a native mammal of the Arctic region and can be spotted on Soroya. Reindeer are commonly found; these semi-domesticated animals are an integral part of Sami culture and can often be seen grazing in the area. While polar bears are more commonly associated with the high Arctic regions, they are known to occasionally venture south in search of food.
