Fishing guide

Sea Trout (Salmo trutta) is a prized coastal predator in Norway, often found in the cool waters of fjords, river mouths, and along the shore. Known for its agility and strength, it’s a favorite target for anglers seeking fast, action-packed fights. Most Sea Trout weigh up to 5 kg, but large individuals can reach up to 20 kg. During feeding migrations, this species becomes especially responsive to trolling. Sea Trout feed on sprats, herring, sardines, shrimp, and aquatic insects. But catching one takes more than just the right bait, thanks to their excellent vision and sharp instincts, light, subtle rigs and precise presentation are key.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Sea Trout would be to use Scaled Sardines on a size #7/0 hook.

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

The most successful lure is Metallic Metallic Plug 125 g, #9/0.
