Skarnsundet Fjordsenter

Sea Fishing in Trondelag 2026

Skarnsundet Fjordsenter sits at Vangshylla on the south-western tip of Inderøya, at the inner end of the Trondheimsfjord in Trøndelag. The site lies right beside one of Norway's strongest tidal currents under the Skarnsund bridge, where nutrient-rich water gathers large shoals of feeding fish — it is regarded as one of the best fishing spots in the Trondheimsfjord. The centre offers eight self-catering apartments next to its own marina, rental boats with sounder and GPS, and a service building with a filleting area with running water and a freezer room for your catch.

What we like about Skarnsundet Fjordsenter

  • ✓Sits beside one of Norway's strongest tidal currents under the Skarnsund bridge — regarded as one of the best fishing spots in the Trondheimsfjord
  • ✓Eight self-catering apartments right by its own marina, with a filleting area with running water and a freezer room for your catch
  • ✓Well suited to both boat and shore fishing — the current edge offers solid fishing right from land

Worth knowing

  • !At the inner end of the Trondheimsfjord, ~80 km from open sea — less suited to big halibut than the coastal camps further out
  • !Self-catering with no on-site restaurant — the nearest shop and services are some distance away

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1The strong tidal current under the Skarnsund bridge can be demanding — fish around the turn of the tide and stay clear of the strongest current in the smaller rental boats
  2. 2The current edge offers good shore fishing — bring a sturdy jigging rod and try for cod and saithe straight from land when the current is running
  3. 3The Trondheimsfjord lies south of the 62°N line — check current cod minimum sizes and the tourist-fishing rules before you fish

Frequently asked questions about Skarnsundet Fjordsenter

What accommodation does Skarnsundet Fjordsenter offer?
The centre has eight modern self-catering apartments right by its own marina, for 4, 5 or up to 6 people. Bed linen and towels are included and the kitchens are fully equipped — the larger apartments have a dishwasher. There is also a small camping ground on the grounds.
What fish species can I catch at Skarnsundet?
The area offers cod, saithe, pollack, haddock, redfish, wolffish and ling among others. The strong tidal current gathers large shoals of feeding fish, and shore fishing at the current edge has produced record-size cod.
Does Skarnsundet Fjordsenter rent boats and offer guiding?
Yes. The centre rents 19-foot fishing boats with a 40 hp engine, GPS and sounder. A jigging rod from the boat costs NOK 500 per week, and a guide can be hired for NOK 500 per hour. The marina also sells diesel and petrol.
Can I gut and freeze my catch at the centre?
Yes. The service building has a filleting area with running water, plus a freezer room and storage room for your catch before you travel home.
When is fishing best in the tidal current under the Skarnsund bridge, and where do I find the tide table?
The strong tidal current under the Skarnsund bridge turns with the tide, and the fish feed best in the hours around the turn of the tide — either from the boat over the current edge or from shore. For up-to-date tide and current times, use the Norwegian Mapping Authority's official "Se havnivå" tide service (Kartverket). Plan your trip around the turn of the tide, when the current eases and is safest in the smaller rental boats.
