What we like about Manndalen Sjøbuer

  • ✓Location on Kåfjord, a sidearm of the Lyngenfjord, gives shelter from weather and short access to deeper fishing grounds
  • ✓Fish-cleaning station and freezer room on shore are included with boat rental
  • ✓Sea Sami heritage and on-site café, plus an Arctic-Ocean sauna available with some cabins

Worth knowing

  • !Boat rental is only available 1 May to 30 October, so winter fishing is not part of the offering
  • !The boat fleet is small compared with dedicated fishing camps, so booking well ahead is advised

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Kåfjord is known for halibut in summer. Try the edge out toward the Lyngenfjord on a falling tide.
  2. 2The lodge is north of 62°N, so northern-zone minimum sizes apply. Cod minimum is 44 cm outside the baseline.
  3. 3Take a trip to the Spåkenes peninsula for birdwatching or a detour into Manndalen valley for Sea Sami culture.
