The region is a popular and attractive destination for fishing holidays, and you will find excellent conditions for lake, river and sea fishing throughout the district.
Sea Fishing
Surrounded by open sea and fjords along Norway’s most beautiful archipelago, the conditions are perfect for sea fishing all year round. There are mackerel, pollock, cod, haddock, ling, crabs and crawfish. If you sink your line deep enough you may also find halibut and monkfish! Try fishing in wintertime, an amazing experience. Did you know that scallops are at their best during the winter?
Fishing has always been important for the societies along the coast. There are still traditional fishing villages and islands where fishing is the most important source of income for the inhabitants. Here you will find fishermen’s cabins and holiday houses customized for fishing holidays.
These are located right by the sea and offer good boats and facilities for preserving and storing your catch. A local fisherman can be hired as your guide to show you the best fishing spots in the area.
Safety at sea
The weather along the coast is changeable, so checking the weather forecast, taking local advice, wearing the correct clothing and carrying appropriate safety equipment is essential when going fishing.
Fresh water fishing
The Flekke and Guddal watercourse and river system is about 30 km long, from the Flekkefjord to the mountain in Guddal. Here you will find salmon and sea trout. If you want to learn more about freshwater fishing you can join one of Bjarte Huseklepp Fishingschool's courses, short and effective. Guiding is also provided.
There are several cabins and accommodation possibilities offering fishing licenses, guiding and appropriate facilities close to the watercourse and river system.
Bremanger and Flora have excellent fresh water fishing. In Bremanger only there is more than 100 lakes. Fishing licence can be bought at Svelgen Hotell and many of the grocery stores in Bremanger.
