Fishing

Fishing in the Fjords is a spectacular and unique experience, open to all.  We can arrange for a private deep-sea fishing trip that will change how you think about the ocean.

Balestrand Adventure are the experts; they have been fishing in Balestrand for years, on the deepest section of the world’s deepest fjord—as deep as the mountains are high. If you stare out over the fjord, you might wonder: What landscapes lie hidden beneath the surface? What strange creatures live in this world? Drop your line and you may meet one of them!

You can choose where you’d like to be picked up and you then set out for a good spot for fishing mackerel, which you will use as bait. After about an hour, when you’ve caught enough, you’ll learn how to use a tandem tackle baited with our fresh mackerel. You’ll let your line run out and out and out and out—between 200 and 500 meters below the surface.

At this depth, there is no light, and no plants. Sound travels slower. It’s an underwater desert. The only light comes from your flashing bait, illuminating a fresh, bleeding mackerel. It’s irresistible to the bulging, light-hungry eyes of the fish down there. If a one takes the bait, you’ll have to do some real work to get it to the surface (or ask for the help of the experts).

As they break the surface to the warm light of the Sognefjord, they’ll hear whoops and hollers of happy fishermen (that’s you).
