Tuvsjyen
Sea Fishing in Nordland 2026
Tuvsjyen is located at Tuv in Saltstraumen, about 30 km from Bodø, right by the world's strongest tidal current. The powerful currents draw in food and make Saltstraumen a sought-after sportfishing area where saithe and cod are most common, with haddock, ling, tusk, herring, sea trout and halibut also present. The family-run resort offers self-catering apartments with character, a wharf with rental boats, fishing tackle for hire and a fish-filleting bench — alongside Stone Age experiences and local food.

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
