An introduction to ice fishing

Ice fishing is one of the oldest winter traditions in northern Norway. As one of the favourite winter activities of the locals, ice fishing competitions are widely organised throughout the region. All one needs is an ice drill, a rod, bait and a bit of luck in order to catch trout or arctic char for dinner.

Ice fishing is a very relaxing activity and makes you forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In addition, it is suitable to travellers of all ages and fitness levels.

To reach our ice fishing location, we will leave our basecamp on snowshoes (depending on snow conditions) and take all the necessary gear with us. Your guide will explain you how to drill a hole in the ice and what are the best fishing techniques. And if you get lucky, we might even prepare your catch of the day for dinner.
