Sea Fishing in Rogaland – Complete Guide 2026
Rogaland in the south-west is where the North Sea meets the sheer Ryfylke fjords. From Stavanger and the white timber houses of Gamle Stavanger it's a short hop out to the skerries and in to the Lysefjord, where Preikestolen rises vertically above the water. Along the North Sea coast and the long sandy beaches of Jæren, mackerel and pollack chase at the surface in summer, while the deep, sheltered Ryfylke fjords offer year-round fishing for saithe, cod, monkfish and wolffish. With a mild coastal climate, varied waters and fish within reach all year, Rogaland is an underrated sea-fishing paradise in the south.
