Tips from experienced anglers
- 1The current at Saltstraumen is extremely strong and shifts with the tide — fish around slack-water turns and keep clear of the maelstrom itself in a small boat
- 2Saltstraumen is known for big saithe and large halibut — ask the host for the tide table and the best timings before heading out
- 3You can also fish from shore along the current — a good option when it's too windy to take a boat out
