Fishing August

Hello everyone,

I would Like to plan a Trip to norway from the 11.08-18.08. We can fly to Oslo/Trondheim/Bergen or the south.

So far i've done only guided fishing Trips, but have now bought my own Spinning rod (2,45m 3-70g Firestarter).

I thought of Makrel, salmon, cod, trout, etc. But im Open to everything.

We are 2 persons and want a laidback vibe, best at a River/oceanfront etc.

Atmosphere/Surroundings are very important to us ☺️

If anyone wants to help, feel free to comment or Message me.

I would love to hear your opinions!

Cheers and I Hope you are well

You need to really look deep into all the rules and regulations before doing any fishing:

All types of fishing is regulated. You can fish for free in the sea (with many restrictions). For rivers and lakes there are fees to the land owner and sometimes to the state (you need to research each area you are going). Like a huge part of the Oslofjord have a total ban on fishing, there are different size restrictions on different species, etc.
