Wilderness Dining & Sightseeing
A signature feature of these trips is the integration of outdoor culinary experiences. Guests have the opportunity to keep their fresh catch, which the guide can expertly prepare and grill over an open fire directly on the shore. For extended trips, the fishing itinerary can be combined with regional sightseeing tours to famous Norwegian natural landmarks, such as Preikestolen.
Pike, Pollock and Everything in Between
Go Fishing Norway covers both freshwater and saltwater — belly boat pike sessions on backcountry lakes in summer, sea fishing from the Norwegian fjords year-round, and multi-day wilderness packages for anglers who want to stay longer. As a Norway fishing guide based near Kristiansand, Marcin knows the local spots and the right conditions for each species and season. A guided fishing trip in Norway that's as flexible as you need it to be.
The boat
The Marine Boat
Sea expeditions take place on a dedicated, seaworthy marine vessel designed with a true "fishing soul." It provides a highly stable and safe platform tailored for spinning, bottom fishing, and trolling, while offering breathtaking views of the surrounding fjords.
Freshwater Setup & Belly Boats
For freshwater lake fishing, the service utilizes a dynamic combination of a Mercury-powered motorboat alongside two professional belly boats (pływadełka). This unique setup accommodates up to 4 anglers simultaneously (two fishing from the motorboat and two fishing directly at water level from the belly boats), providing an incredibly exciting and stealthy approach to targeting predators.
