Fishing

There are numerous opportunities available for fishing and these include salmon fishing, fishing for trout in rivers and lakes and fjord fishing (sea water). There are few activities which combine excitement and experiencing nature in a better way than fishing.

Salmon fishing

There are five salmon rivers in the area for which individuals can purchase fishing licenses. These are Strandaelva, Korsbrekkeelva (Hellesylt), Valldola, Eidsdalselva and Norddalselva. The statutory season for salmon fishing in our area runs from 15 June to 31 August, with the exception of Korsbrekkeelva where the season runs from 1 June to 31st August. In addition to the local fishing license you have to pay a state fishing fee if you are over 18 years old.

Trout fishing in rivers and lakes

There is considerable choice and scope for trout fishing, ranging from easily accessible rivers and lakes in the lowlands to walking for several days in the highlands with your fishing rod for company. Fishing for trout in rivers and lakes which do not contain salmon or sea trout is free for people under the age of 16 - there is not even any state fee to pay. But for people over 16 years you need to buy a local fishing license which cost approx. NOK 50 per day or discounted licenses for a weekend, week or a whole year.

Fjord fishing is free

The fjords contain sea water so there are many different species of fish living there. The most common species are coalfish, cod, haddock, pollack, tusk, mackerel and redfish. You can fish from the shore or hire a boat.

There are several camping and chalet sites which also hire out boats to their guests. Fjord fishing is available throughout the year. Minimum sizes have been introduced for species such as cod and haddock. Cod smaller than 40 cm and haddock under 31 cm must be released again, provided that the fish has not been seriously injured while being caught. We would like to point out that tourists are permitted to take up to 15 kg of fish and one (whole) trophy fish out of the country. Freshwater fish such as salmon, trout and char are exempt from the 15 kg limit.
