Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Book boat and accommodation together. Rental capacity is often limited and fishing guests should secure boats before arrival.
  2. 2Solbergfjorden and the waters toward Andfjorden offer cod, saithe and haddock, while deeper edges are productive for halibut in summer.
  3. 3Senja lies north of 62°N. The cod minimum size is 55 cm in coastal waters (inside 4 nautical miles) and 44 cm further out, and recreational anglers may export up to 15 kg of fish per person from camps registered with the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries.
