Fishing in Tysnes

Search Things to Do

Sunnhordland is a paradise for fishing. Here you can harvest of Nature´s bounty.

Sea Fishing

The open sea, which awaits you at the coast, really abounds in fish. You might catch cod, haddock, mackerel, ling, pollock, catfish or even a monkfish. There are several places where you can take a trip with local experts to catch really big fish. You can also fish from the shore!

Further into the fjord, there are also many good fishing spots where you can fish from the shore or from a boat.

Lake fishing

There are hundreds of lakes in Sunnhordland, both in lowland areas and in the mountains. Many of them abound in fish, and there is a really unique atmosphere associated with fishing in these lakes.

The quality of the fish is very high – imagine enjoying a tasty meal of fish way up in the mountains while watching the sun setting over the ocean.

Deepsea fishing

With a few exceptions, you can fish with a rod and handline in the sea all year in Norway. This also applies to salmon fishing. You cannot fish within 100 to 200 metres of the mouths of salmon rivers. Foreign visitors are allowed to fish with hand-held equipment, but they are not allowed to sell fish. There are also restrictions on how much fish it is permitted to take out of Norway.

Fishing in freshwater

Landowners hold the fishing rights for freshwater lakes etc. and can stipulate fishing rules for freshwater fishing. Fishing permits can be purchased where landowners permit recreational fishing.

Children under the age of 16 are entitled to free fishing permits in watercourses in which there are no salmon, sea trout or Arctic char. A fishing licence fee does NOT have to be paid to the state for freshwater fishing in such watercourses – this also applies to adult fishermen.

For fishing in salmon watercourses, everyone over the age of 16 must have paid a fishing licence fee to the state before they can buy a local fishing permit.

Friluftsrådet Vest has published a brochure called Fritidsfiske i Nord-Rogaland og Sunnhordland (recreational fishing in north Rogaland and Sunnhordland - in Norwegian only). It provides information about where you can fish and where you can buy a fishing permit for the various lakes and watercourses. You can pick up a brochure at all tourist information offices and it can be downloaded here.

Also see Bergen og Omland Friluftsliv’s (Bergen region outdoor recreation board) website for more information about fishing spots in Austevoll and Tysnes.
