With Norway\u00b4s long kystlinje<\/strong> (coastline), fjorder<\/strong>, and many innsj\u00f8er<\/strong> (lakes) and elver <\/strong>(rivers), there is no shortage of good places \u00e5 dra p\u00e5 fisketur<\/strong>. \u00a0In fact, the waters around the kyst <\/strong>of Norway are some of the most heavily populated with fish in the world, not to mention the quality of the stock. \u00a0 The further north you venture up the kyst<\/strong>, the deeper the waters get and there are more small islets.<\/p>\n Below is a list of some of the species of fisk<\/strong> living in and around the waters of Norway:<\/p>\n torsk<\/strong>–cod<\/p>\n laks<\/strong>–salmon (the best Atlantic Salmon in the world come from Norway)<\/p>\n hyse<\/strong>–haddock<\/p>\n \u00f8rret<\/strong>–trout<\/p>\n hellefisk<\/strong>–halibut<\/p>\n makrell<\/strong>–mackerel<\/p>\n piggvar<\/strong>–turbot<\/p>\n sei<\/strong>–pollack<\/p>\n From what I understand, there really isn\u00b4t a bad place to fish in Norway. \u00a0There are elver, innsj\u00f8er<\/strong>, and plenty of kystlinje<\/strong> covering nearly the entire country and anglers seem to have good luck in many different areas. \u00a0However, there are always going to be hot-spots, so I\u00b4ll share a few with you that I\u00b4ve heard about. \u00a0Of course it all depends on hva slags fisk du leter etter<\/strong> (what kind of fish you are after)…<\/p>\n For laks<\/strong>, the following elver og innsj\u00f8er <\/strong>are known hotspots:<\/p>\n Reise, Lakselva (hence the name), Repparfjordelva, Namsen, Stjordal, Langfjordelva, V\u00e5lfrusj\u00f8en, and the list goes on.<\/p>\n So if you are just visiting and you would like to dra p\u00e5 fisketur<\/strong>, you will need to get a fishing license. \u00a0Similar to here in the United States, licenses are available at sportsbutikker<\/strong> (sports stores), many bensinstasjoner <\/strong>(gas stations), campsites, and turistinformasjonsentrer<\/strong> (tourist information centers). \u00a0You have the option to purchase a license for just en dag<\/strong> (one day), 3 dager<\/strong> (3 days), en uke <\/strong>(one week), or various sesongkort <\/strong>(season cards). \u00a0Fiskesesongen<\/strong> (The fishing season) is from June 1 to August 31. \u00a0Fees for licenses can be paid at a postkontor <\/strong>(post office) or bank <\/strong>(how sensible, right?), but if both of these are closed, you should be able to pay at a turistinformasjonsenter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In addition to delicious meals made with freshly caught fisk<\/strong> (I personally think a good fish can be a meal of it\u00b4s own…), trann<\/strong> or fiskolje<\/strong> is made by some of the by-products. \u00a0Many Norwegians (and other peoples who live in the arctic or the antarctic) take trann om vinteren<\/strong> (during the winter) to supplement their diet due to the lack of sol<\/strong> (sun) and therefore vitamin D. \u00a0I think I\u00b4ll definitely be purchasing some of the gross tasting stuff when winter hits Troms\u00f8<\/strong>-I\u00b4m a sun worshipper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jeg vil dra p\u00e5 fisketur!
