Furøy Fishing Camp

Sea Fishing in Senja 2026

Furøy Fishing Camp sits on the Furøy peninsula in Sørreisa, just across the Solbergfjord from the village. The narrow, sheltered sound between the mainland and the island of Senja creates strong tidal currents – and where there is current, there is fish. The camp offers self-catering apartments and rooms, 18-foot rental boats with fishing gear, a filleting room with running water, and freezer storage. A calm-water sea-fishing base for cod, saithe, halibut, wolffish, haddock, and redfish, well shielded from weather by Senja.

What we like about Furøy Fishing Camp

  • Sheltered position on the Solbergfjord between the mainland and Senja – strong tidal currents concentrate fish, and Senja shields from weather so few trips get cancelled
  • Complete self-catering setup: modern apartments and rooms, rental boats with GPS/fishfinder, a filleting room with running water, and freezer storage for the catch
  • Good fishing right off the camp plus a sauna and hot tub to relax after the fishing trip

Worth knowing

  • !No online booking – enquiries must go via contact form or email, and prices are published in euros via a partner agency rather than in NOK
  • !The rental boats are 18-foot open boats with 25 HP – roomy and stable in the fjord, but not suited for long runs out to open sea

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Fish the turning tide in the Solbergfjord – the strong currents between the mainland and Senja are exactly what draws the fish in
  2. 2The spring skrei run from April brings big fish – cod over 20 kg and wolffish are reported early in the season, while autumn brings large schools of saithe
  3. 3Reserve rod-and-reel sets and fishing overalls in advance if you travel light – both are rented on site by the week

Frequently asked questions about Furøy Fishing Camp

What fish species can I catch from Furøy Fishing Camp?
In the Solbergfjord guests catch cod (big fish over 20 kg from April), saithe, halibut, wolffish, haddock, and redfish. Autumn brings large schools of saithe, while spring and early summer are best for large cod.
What kind of boats can I rent at Furøy Fishing Camp?
The camp rents 18-foot polyester boats with 25 HP 4-stroke engines, GPS/fishfinder, and a gaff. Each boat seats up to four anglers. Rod and reel sets and fishing overalls can be rented separately.
Are there facilities to clean and freeze the catch?
Yes. Furøy Fishing Camp has a dedicated filleting room with running water and freezer storage where you can freeze your catch to take home. There are also barbecue facilities and a drying room for gear.
Where is Furøy Fishing Camp, and how do I get there?
The camp is on the Furøy peninsula in Sørreisa municipality in Troms, at Furøyveien 102, just across the Solbergfjord from Sørreisa centre (about 6 km) and 15 km from Finnsnes. From Bardufoss airport it takes around 40 minutes by car or transfer.
When is fishing best on the turning tide in the Solbergfjord, and where do I find the tide table?
The strong currents in the Solbergfjord between mainland and Senja shift with the tide, and the fish feed best in the hours around the turn of the tide. For up-to-date tide and current times, use the Norwegian Mapping Authority's official "Se havnivå" tide service (Kartverket). The fjord is sheltered, so few trips get cancelled — still, plan your outings around the turn of the tide for the best sessions.
