Welcome to Vesterålen Norway fishing, located in Norway’s north, surrounded by some of Norway’s most stunning landscape. Known locally as the ‘Kingdom of the Whales’, it is home to a vast population of different Whales species. This gorgeous Island is north of the world-famous Lofoten Islands and the Arctic circle. The archipelago of Vesterålen reaches out westwards from the mainland of Norway and into the Atlantic ocean.
How popular our other Norway fishing destinations have become on the Lofoten Islands has led us to research this area of Vesteralen Norway fishing and try to bring you new exciting destinations that offer the same world-class fishing opportunities. Vesterålen will open up some significant fishing areas. We like to class as almost weatherproof as you have access to two massive fjords, Jörnfjorden, where the Lodges are, and Eidsfjorden is just a 5-minute ride away. This camp has two guides on it all times, meaning that you will always have a guide on the base who will offer advice on where to fish and what tactics to use.
The destination of Vesterålen in Norway found on the Eidsfjorden, a long deep fjord with depths as deep as 200mtrs and has many plateaus, peaks, and structures that will hold big Cod and Coalfish all year round. The are has proved to be an excellent area for Redfish and huge Ling. There are some tremendous sandy plateaus on the Vesteralen Norway fishing trip close to the land on the sides of this fjord, which will offer fantastic Halibut fishing along with Plaice and Dabs.
The main attraction to Vesterålen will be the species fishing you will find on offer; it is one of the best places for a wide variety of species as the pressure on these fish is very low, so the stocks of fish keep getting better and bigger.
If you continue a short distance to the west or south-west, you will find yourself in the open ocean, where there are many more peaks, channels and plateaus. The population of big Cod, Coalfish and Halibut are plentiful in this area. It’s not just the great fishing in this area that has caught our attention, its the accommodation on offer. It is of a very high standard for Norway, and we have made sure that the cabins are complete with lots of modern amenities to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as it could be.
You will be fishing the North sea, and these waters are rich with life and nutrients, which makes for some incredible fishing at certain times of the year. In the cooler months, such as April and May, the Cod fishing around Vesteralen Norway fishing is excellent, and with the Skrei Cod coming close enough to reach with a short drive from this destination, it won’t be long before we see some outstanding results. As the waters warm up, the fishing changes and Halibut becomes the main fish to target. You can catch large Halibut in the fjords or the open sea; the choice will be yours.
Some of the best Halibut grounds are around 30 minutes to a 1-hour boat drive away. However, there are always colossal Halibut caught 5 minutes from the cabins. The further away spots tend to be known holding areas for big Ling, and much other fish are still worth a long journey.
The onsite guides at Vesteralen Norway fishing have found a fishing mark known locally as ‘Jurassic Park’ aptly named due to the sheer size of the fish available to catch. It’s not uncommon to see Cod over 50lb in the summer months. It’s not just the Cod that grow large; its the other species that are being caught each week, with Huge Ling, Coalfish and of course Halibut. This area is around a 1.5hr boat ride away from the lodge, but it is well worth a couple of days fishing in this area.
With our partners Nordic Sea Angling, we have managed to secure the same high standard boats as we run at many of our other camps. The boats that you will be using are known for excellent handling and safety at sea. They are very sturdy even in rough conditions and can cope with heavy seas. Why not head over to our Youtube channel to see what Vesteralen is like
The boats are 23.5ft Arronnet aluminium boats and come fitted with 150hp Suzuki 4 Stroke engines, one of the most fuel-efficient engines money can buy. The boats’ electronics are also a high standard, with prominent displays on the fish finders and chart plotters. These boats are kept to a very high standard and regularly maintained. We also have a spare boat just in case of unforeseen breakdowns. There is also a guided boat at Vesteralen Norway fishing, and if booked well in advance, you can have a full week’s guided fishing; alternatively, if you wish to be more flexible with your fishing, you can simply follow the guides around for the first couple of days.
Subject to availability, it is also possible to book the guide for just one day. They will then come on your boat for the day and show you around and show you some of their fishing techniques, which is a massive help.
You will have two guides onsite at Vesteralen Norway fishing camp, with one being at the camp during the day whilst the other is out guiding on the boats. These guides will be on hand to answer any questions you may have and offer advice on any of the fishing you may need. If you have been looking for your next sea fishing adventure, then Vesterålen is the place for you as once you have fished here and stayed in the luxury cabins, we looked after our onsite guides and caught that dream fish, you will not want to go anywhere else.
As with many other parts of Norway, the seasons are pretty much similar. March & April will see the Skrei Cod’s arrival, then once you start to move from Spring to summer, the Halibut and Coalfish will become more active and more comfortable to find. A perfect time to fish Vesteralen is June, as this is when all the species will be available, especially the very large Ling that Vesteralen Norway fishing is famous for. If you still need more help deciding, we have written some useful blogs such as the ultimate guide to sea fishing.
The great advantage of Vesterålen is that there are always two full-time guides on hand to help the most or less experienced anglers. They will even jump on your boat for a day, guiding you and showing you all the hot spots. They are always on hand to help out with any questions about fishing marks and are still keen to help out as much as possible to ensure you have a great experience.
There is no skill level required for fishing as the guides will help you with everything. A little boat handling knowledge would be an advantage but not necessary as the guides will help with instructions. The boats located a minute walk away from the cabins down a reasonably steep bridge on to the dock. The rest of the holiday is certainly not physically demanding.
Vesteralen Norway fishing resort is one of our finest locations in northern Norway, with the brand new cabins located right on the edge of a fish-filled fjord; one does not have to go far to find some fantastic fishing spots. The scenery just outside the cabins is breath-taking from the rear tree-lined mountains will surround you, and at the front of the properties, you will benefit from stunning views across the fjord to the open ocean.
At this resort, four cabins are ranging in sizes to accommodate any size groups. We have the ‘Castle’ designed to accommodate larger groups for up to 8 people and is the perfect base for a group to enjoy relaxing social evenings whilst soaking up the Norwegian atmosphere. The ‘Castle’ benefits from a large open plan kitchen/living area with very modern amenities to make your self-catering holiday the best it can be. Lots of cupboard space, enough cutlery for up to 8 people, pots and pans, plates and bowls, a large fridge freezer, dishwasher and a large widescreen TV are all included inside the Castle to make your stay an enjoyable experience.
There are four twin bedrooms with two single beds in each room, a large shower room with toilet and washbasin and a separate toilet room. All towels and bed linen supplied. The other cabins are also very carefully decorated and fitted out with very modern amenities and are more suited to smaller groups of four people. Each of the four-person places come with an open planned kitchen/living space with a large sofa and dining room table, and four chairs. You will find electric hobs with over the top extractor fans in modern kitchens, an oven and grill, lots of cupboard space, enough cutlery for four people, plates and bowls, pots, dishwasher and coffee maker. Each four-person cabin comes with a large widescreen TV and free Wi-Fi. All the cottages at Vesterålen have two floors with bedrooms upstairs and living space on the ground floor. You will have two twin bedrooms with single beds and one large shower room with a toilet and washbasin in the standard cabins. Each cabin provided towels for four people and bed linen.
Your stay at Vesterålen will be on a self-catering basis, but we have ensured that each cabin is completely fitted out with enough utensils and cooking equipment to make your stay enjoyable and straight forward. The local supermarket is a short 7-8km drive from the cabins and fully stocked with the same as a supermarket at home. We provide every angler with the free use of the onsite car to make supermarket trips as easy as possible. Simply ask one of the onsite guides for the keys, and you are free to use the car whenever you need to. If you need any help on any recipes or what food you can cook whilst away, we have written a short blog with some helpful information which is helpful ‘what to Cook in Norway’
You will find many amenities around this resort to make sure your stay is comfortable, from an undercover filleting room with lights, filleting boards, and enough space for anglers to prepare their catches. We also have a very well stocked tackle shop supplying everything you will need for your weeks fishing, from braid to hooks. They have everything you will need at UK prices, you can simply turn up here with no tackle and purchase everything you will need for the week plus it will not cost you any extra than buying it all from the UK and at least you will only buy items that are working.
Around the resort, you will get free access to Wi-Fi which is a great way to post your pictures so friends and family can experience your journey. There is also a large container where you will replenish your boat fuel from, simply ask the guides each day for however much fuel your boat needs, and they will issue you with 25ltr containers to carry down to your boat. There is a little trolley supplied to help you carry the fuel to the boats. The boat fuel that you use will need to pay for at the end of your stay. There is also a large walk-in freezer room with plenty of storage space if you take fish home with you; you can also purchase polystyrene fish boxes to carry your fish home.
Although the fishing days are fixed, the below itinerary is still flexible should you require additional free days to explore at the beginning or end of your holiday; we can tailor this itinerary to suit you personally. Feel free to talk to our travel consultants who can explain all options available.

Very good holiday to Vesteralen Norway again for the second year running, will be booking again next year. Have been happy with the service that sportsquest offer and would highly recommend them as a company.
Hi Kevin thank you for your kind words and so pleased you love the place so much.
You guys are all booked in for next year and what a trip that will be
All the best
Paul
Seeing a family of killer whales in the wild was awesome.
This was my sixth trip with Sportquest and this destination was by far the most scenic
Hello Clinton, So glad you got to experience those killer whales and it was great to fish with you once again. Vesterålen is a magical place with awesome scenery. I cant wait to get back there next year
All the best
Paul
Had a fantastic time in Norway. Hoping to go back next year!! Only thing is it helps if you have skipper experience, ie, using equipment, drifting but after a few days we were on top of it and caught some very nice fish. Thanks Sportquest
Hi Colin
Its great to hear you had a fantastic time and are hoping to go back.
We will give you a call soon

I have just returned from a week in Vesteralen. What a great getaway. The accomodation was excellent. Very roomy, spotless and with all mod cons. The boats were brilliant, very sea worthy, and comfortable fishing. The fishing was slow for the first couple of days then we had a guided trip to a mark Marcus the resort guide new about that could be reached in good weather. The weather god was kind to us and after a two hour trip we settled into what was undoubtedly the best days fishing any of us had ever had. For over six hours we had fish after fish, large Cod, large Coal-fish, large Ling, you never new what was going to come up next. Wow what a day. A Big thank you must be said to Marcus for providing us with not only maps and local knowledge, but nothing was a problem for him. If we needed any advice about anything he was there. A Great Guy. The views of the Fjords were spectacular The icing on the cake was watching the Sea Eagles diving down for fish as we headed back to our cabin each evening.
Hello Richard, thanks for your great feedback. It is a real help to future travellers.
So glad you guys had a great trip and liked Vesteralen. I am off there next June so hopefully we have the same great fishing you guys had. Where next for you guys?
Tight lines Paul
Great location with fantastic accommodation and 'away from it all' setting.
Good fishing grounds with some limitations in adverse weather - Huge potential in Calmer conditions for Halibut, Cod and Coalfish.
The guide Marcus is fantastic. Limited by being a one man operation on site.
Recommend Blackout blinds to improve lodges during 24 hour daylight.
Self catering welcome packs. Recommend a 'basket' of Bread, Eggs, Milk, Cheese etc.
Location/fishing grounds/guides. Please send in advance to allow initial planning for the trip. (Nordic do this)
As usual, Minor points as the overall package is very good.
Hi Matt, thanks for your feedback all the tips are very helpful for future travellers.
Sounds like you guys had a great time and caught plenty of big fish.
We do have lots of maps with fishing marks for people who require them. Perhaps we will start to send them out with the paper work. I shall suggest a welcome pack as it is sometimes very helpful especially if your flight arrives late in the day and the shops are closed so that would be a great idea
All the best
Paul
Plenty of cod/coalfish and ling a couple of personal bests
No Halibut unfortunately
Hi John
Thank you for the feedback
It sounds like you had plenty of fish but it's a shame no halibut showed for you.

Thanks for a great holiday
Hi Nicholas, great to hear you guys all had a good time. Where next? I will try and speak with you all very soon

Another unbelievable experience. Great fishing, scenery and just makes you feel alive. What more can I say!!
Hi Colin, thank you for your review. This destination is proving very popular, I have just returned from my hosted their for the first time and absolutely loved it and so did the group. I bet you guys are counting down the days until next year

Our group enjoyed a very memorable trip with excellent accommodation and a great guide called Marcus who could not have been more helpful and actually joined us for a couple of evening meals.
He gave us great information and tips on where to fish.
Your own service has also been outstanding and we all agree that we will be returning to Norway with Sportquest at some point in the future.
Hi William
Thank you for the great feedback, it sounds like you had an amazing time in Vesteralen.
Tight lines
Matt
Although the fishing was very good the travelling to the fishing grounds I thought was to long 4.5 hours one day when the sea was rough. Seeing killer whales to me was the highlight. Sometimes I just want to go fishing on a holiday at a respectable hour and not get up early in the morning to catch big fish and long distances
Hello David, Thank you for your feedback. Yes it was a tough weeks weather and those long distances would of been half the time if the sea was flat calm. But when we got out there the fishing was worth it with two Cod pushing 50lb and those ling made the journey worth it. Those Killer whales we saw were amazing and to have them so close to the boat was even more exciting.
All the best
Paul
Fishing was unbelievable better than I hoped for!
Scenery Beautiful and our guide Marcus was really helpful and pleasant.
Accommodation was very clean and comfortable.
Could not fault the holiday.
Hi Luke
Thank you for the great feedback
It sounds like you had a great time in Vesteralen I will chat to you soon

Another fantastic trip with Sportquest. Highlights definitely were:
The location and scenery
seeing orcas in their natural environment
the company - great set of anglers
oh...and a new Halibut PB!
Only improvement suggestion would be to install wardrobes / cupboards in the lodge bedrooms - we were literally living out of a suitcase
Hello Nick, it was great to see you again and really pleased you managed your Halibut PB. It was an awesome fish. What about the statue, you forget to mention the statue!!
Anyway, hopefully will see you again soon
All the best

It lived up to expectations as other trip have done before. All things been thought of

Great holiday, stunning backdrops, good fishing and a stunning location.
Vesteralen accommodation is very comfortable, clean and overlooks a peaceful setting.
Oscar the guide provided a great service and looked after us with advice and fishing information daily.

Vesteralen really is a stunning destination that is proving itself to be a very good place to fish.
Hopefully we will get to speak soon

Amazing people, amazing fishing , amazing boats,
Just brilliant experience and can’t wait for our next adventure
Hi Jame, thank you so much for your feedback. Its very important to the Sportquest Staff and also the onsite guides to see if there is any improvements needed. And also thank you for your report on our Sea Fishing Holidays Facebook
Until next time, tight lines Paul
It's fair to say that it is a long journey. Once at Heathrow, aircraft to Oslo, another flight to Evenes then into the local Bo Taxi for a three hour Road Trip to Vesteralen Fishing Apartments/ lodge. Including the trip to Heathrow from Lincolnshire we had been on the road about nineteen hours.
On arrival at the fishing Lodge, we were greeted by Jogen and Alex the guides and shown to our very comfortable, warm and well equipped apartments overlooking the Fjord and the dock with the boats we were to be using for the next 5 days. Then followed a full briefing on the boats, safety equipment, refuelling and cleaning, we were then kitted out with anything we needing rods, reels, floatation suits and the like. With all of our group of 4 having good levels of boating experiance the boat handling didn't hold any concern for us, however we opted to nominate one person as skipper to save any confusion on the boat.
I won't go into a day by day blow by blow account of our fishing, suffice it to say that with the best advice from both Alex and Jogen on methods and lures, the next five days of fishing was an absolute blast. All four of us on the boat caught Halibut the largest for us was circa 65+lb. the tally being 8 to the boat with others lost. The Coalfish and Cod were exciting and numerous up to around 15lb with larger fish a the 25lb range. In all we caught Ling, Haddock, Cod, Coalfish, Halibut, and the odd Sh£$fish.
Individually, in our group of 4, we all fish, and have reasonable fishing experience, but went to Vesteralen with no preconceived ideas as to what to expect, other than what we had seen on TV (Mortimer and Whitehouse) and YouTube. As a fishing destination we all agree that Norway is a must do, and we will be doing it again next year with Sportquest.
A bit of advice.
Catering
Its self catering take food, packet soups are great for the flask during the day. Pasta, rice, bread, biscuits, food shopping in Norway is expensive. Norland pils is the best and cheapest beer, you won't be able to buy beer after 8pm in the local supermarket and you can not buy wine and spirts in the supermarket at all.
Tackle
Slim down you tackle box, I was certainly guilty of taking to much gear I didn't use. What I did use was, Westin Sandy Andy's 300gr 28cm, Shads 300gr, for Halibut, 150gr Perks for Cod, Coalfish & Wolfish, Small multiple sand eel rigs for bait fish, 8oz plum weights. The Kinetic Dragon 80gr perk in blue/silver was brilliant for coalfish. 130 and 80lb mono for leaders. Mustard quality, Swivels,Berkley McMahon Ball Bearing Cross-Lok Snap Swivels 175lb & Seadra Solid Ball Bearing Swivel #8 300lb, Hooks 3/0 & 5/0 circles and 1/0 & 1 trebles What's the best colour for shads and sandyandy's, the answer there isn't one IMHO! The camp has a well stocked tackle shop and the prices are comparable with UK
Listen to the guides, Alex and Jorgen have a wealth of knowledge to offer.
Hello Anthony, wow that is an excellent feedback and thank you so much and some very useful and helpful information in there for future travellers.
These feedback forms are very important to our staff and also the onsite guides to see if there are any improvements that we and them need to make.
Until next time, tight lines Paul
Catching my first Halibut was a memorable experience. The sheer power of the fish made for a great fight, it measured in at around 120cm/50lbs, not bad for the first Halibut !
Hosts Jorgen and Alex were very knowledgeable and helpful, they guided us to some good spots for Cod Coalfish, Haddock and Halibut, we all caught some good fish. The elusive Wolffish did beat us but will be there next time.
Hello Geoff, firstly thank you so much for taking the time to send us your feedback. These are so important to us as it gives us great pleasure to hear about peoples adventures, also for the onsite guides so they can see that they are doing a great job and finally for future travellers.
A huge well done on the Halibut and dont they hang on!!
Where to next Geoff?
We were exceptionally proud to be involved with the Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing Christmas Special to Norway in 2022. Being the first time the programme had ventured outside the UK, it took a tremendous amount of work to produce the itinerary and cater for the thirteen-strong production team, but it was a fantastic couple of weeks away.
