Fishing guide

Norway Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is found in fast-flowing rivers and cold coastal waters. It’s a prized catch and a proud symbol of Norwegian fishing tradition. Most Norway Atlantic Salmon weigh around 5-7 kg, though some giants reach up to 50+ kg. Salmon can be caught in many ways, but in open coastal waters, trolling tends to give the best results. Their diet includes small fish like herring and sardines, shrimp, and insect larvae. But despite their appetite, Norway Atlantic Salmon are sharp-eyed and cautious. To succeed, anglers need delicate, nearly invisible rigs and precise lure presentation.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Norway Atlantic Salmon would be to use Atlantic Herring on a size #9/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Plugs.

The most successful lure is Silver/Gold Trophy Plug 115 g, #8/0.
