As winter turns into early spring, the skrei cod migrates close to Sørøya, creating an extraordinary opportunity for both avarage catches and targeting the trophy-sized "big mamas." Our camp kicks off in mid-February, together with the arrival of the first cod and our valued guests. While the early season can bring rough weather, it also offers a high chance of reaping truly rewarding experiences!
Halibut top the charts as the most coveted game fish in our part of the world, and it's clear why. Pursuing these giants poses a real challenge, but it's extremely rewarding. Prepare for enduring fights, with long runs and heavy head shakes that really test your angling grit!

Sørøya's seas are one of the most renowned areas for halibut – possibly even the top spot. May kicks off the ultimate early rush, as these beasts cruise into the shallows to chow down post-spawn. Then comes autumn – it's the absolute prime time when these massive halibut go all out feasting before their next spawn cycle.
Experience the ultimate summer fishing during the Arctic's prime time – stable weather and all the species in season! Bask in endless daylight and maximize your angling with the midnight sun overhead, in the land of the never-setting sun.

Safety at sea is our No. 1 priority. Weather on Sørøya can be quite rough and rapidly changing. That is why it is so important that our guests follow the safety rules.
We want you to have a safe stay at our camp! Please follow these rules and never take unnecessary risk.
The driver of a recreational boat of over 8 metres in length or with an engine with a greater effect than 25 HP needs a Norwegian Boating Certificate or a valid boating license issued in another country. This rule applies to all persons born on or after 1 January 1980 according to the Regulation on requirement for minimum age and a boating license for drivers of recreational craft dated 3 March 2009.
We want you to have a good fishing holiday in Norway! The coastal fish stocks in Norway are under pressure and we need to increase our efforts to ensure that future generations will also be able to enjoy fishing as a sport or recreation in Norway. Fish in the sea are free for all, but we have a goal to safeguard fish stocks for the future. You are therefore very welcome to fish for free in Norwegian sea waters, provided that you follow a set of simple rules.
