Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Bjugn lies north of 62°N. The cod minimum is 55 cm within four nautical miles of the baselines and 44 cm farther out, and haddock is 40 cm. Targeted halibut fishing is closed 20 December–20 April; the minimum is 84 cm and every fish over two metres must be released.
- 2With open 17- and 19-foot boats, keep fishing within Trondheimsleia and Bjugnfjord in good weather. Check the forecast and wave height before every trip.
- 3A registered tourist fishing business reports daily counts of the five reportable species; guests follow the business procedure after each trip. For export in 2026, a person aged 12+ must both fish and stay through a registered business and carry individual documentation; the quota is 15 kg up to twice per calendar year.
