Lyngen Havfiskesenter, Nord-Lenangen, North-Norway

At late September, we went to check out a new place that is open all year around, Lyngen Havfiskesenter. I was interested of this place as it is open 365/year, and i can bring guests to do some deep sea fishing all year around from Lapland here with six hours car drive through unforgettable views of highest mountains of Lapland and Norway. Place is in North-Norway, not too far from city of Tromso

Lyngen Havfiskesenter's website, only in Norwegian but will be updated soon: http://www.lyngenhavfiske.com

We stayed in this lovely place for three days, cabins are extremely well equipped, they offer place for six persons. Boats are very good, GPS/sonar in every boat, boats are big enough, some of them have also a small cabin. They are equipped with good 40-50hp 4-stroke engines.

Fishing was a bit poor, as it is always at autumn. Our first-timer friend had his first-ever cods and haddocks and he was.. Somewhat happy!

Big fishes will get closer to shore at February, from that on the fishing just gets better and better until end of August. Cod, coalfish, sea-wolf, halibut, ocean perch... This halibut came up July 2005

That's just the few to recommend!
Largest cod last summer weighted 25,5 kilo and biggest halibut was 55,5 kilo. Among that, several sea-wolfs of around 10 kilo were caught. Not to recommend uncounted number of coalfishes between 3-15 kilo.
Of course summer is the best time to fish, there is daylight 24hrs a day so it does not matter much when you go out. Winter is something else, you can get the cod or coalfish of your life, and it is really weird to see the sea open as the mountains have lots of snow. Some shallow ends of fjords get ice, like the one in the picture below. Local people ice-fish for big cod and coalfish from those places. That is something i want to try too!

Absolutely an experience of a lifetime!
I strongly recommend this place to everyone that has plans on going to North-Norway. Easiest way is to fly to Tromso, and ask for a car ride to Lyngen havfiskesenter. The first picture below is from summer 2005.

Go and get your big ones!

If you are in Lapland or planning to get there & you are interested about overnight deep sea fishing trip of your life - instead of ski' ing or other cold snow activities - contact me personally: petri.peltonen@levi.fi .

Let's go fishing!
