- !Weather conditions in Lofoten can be unpredictable, which may limit the number of fishing days.
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Try Austnesfjorden early in the season (March-April) for skrei fishing — large cod migrate into the fjord.
- 2Bring warm clothing even in summer — temperatures on the sea can be significantly lower than on shore.
- 3Book boats and accommodation well in advance for March-June, as this is peak season for sea fishing in Lofoten.
