Tuvsjyen is located at Tuv in Saltstraumen, about 30 km from Bodø, beside a powerful tidal current. The operator describes saithe and cod as the most common species and also lists haddock, ling, tusk, herring, sea trout, and halibut. 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
