Pollack (Pollachius Pollachius)

Our staple fly fishing species- abundant, hard fighting, and tasty. A trophy fish from shore in our area would be roughly 5 kilos.

Atlantic Cod (Gadus Morhua)

The Atlantic cod grows to similar sizes as the pollack, though not as abundant. Otherwise, these species have a lot in common, from their size to their preferences.

Sea Trout (Salmo Trutta Trutta)

Schools of sea trout will often appear in the gin clear water below, presenting an exciting and challenging opportunity for sight fishing that will push your skills to the limit!

Ballan Wrasse (Labrus bergylta)

The ballan wrasse is mostly caught on rough days in pollock spots. You'll think you hooked into a fish 3 times their size!

Cuckoo Wrasse (Labrus mixtus)

The male cuckoo wrasse is stunningly beautiful, featuring a mixture of blue, black, and orange.

Mackerel (Scomber scombrus)

Present in large schools in the later summer, the mackerel swarm will sporadically appear, causing a frenzy of intense fights.

More species are present, but we focus on these.

We run our fly fishing guiding services in and around Kristiansand, Norway. The airport of reference for the area is Kristiansand Kjevik Airport (KRS). The city lies 20 minutes from the airport via bus or taxi.

Q: Do I need to bring my waders?

A: We do not do any wading for this experience, so you can leave your wading gear at home.

Q: Is tipping expected?

A: Tipping is appreciated but not expected, though we also appreciate reviews and referrals! All tipping proceeds belong fully to the guides.

Q: How difficult is the fishing?

A: With a skilled guide at your side, it is fairly beginner friendly, and we can accommodate all skill levels assuming a learning mindset. However, some species are more skill demanding than others. The fishing is generally very fast paced, but it can occasionally slow down.
