- ✓Varied species mix in the fjord — cod, saithe, haddock, wolffish, tusk, ling and halibut

Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Reserve a place on the Coastal Route ferry (Fv17 stretch) in high season — crossings can have queues in summer
- 2Use the on-site gutting shed and freezer — the Vistenfjorden is regarded as one of Norway's cleanest fjords
- 3Check the tourist-fishing rules for catch export and minimum sizes before heading home — Helgeland lies north of 62°N
