Fishing in Flekkefjord, from Abelnes to Hidra
Fishing in the sea and the fjords:
From your location in the Flekkefjord and Abelnes region, you have excellent opportunities for sea trout and saltwater fishing, depending on the tides and the time of year.
The marine fish in this region are incredibly diverse. The tranquil fjord locations offer numerous advantages, particularly for anglers, diving groups, and families with children who enjoy fishing, providing easy access to some of the best fishing grounds. Our excellent boat will effortlessly take you to some of the most renowned fishing spots in southern Norway.
These include Flekkefjord, the Bubble Bay near Fjellsa (reachable in only 10-15 minutes), as well as Vollesfjord and Strandsfjord near Andabelöy, Eidsfjorden, Stolsfjorden, Hidrasund and Fedafjord.
The wreck of the Gudrun, which sank off the harbor in Abelnes during World War II, is a popular destination for divers from all over the world in spring, summer, and autumn. The shores off Grönnes in Flekkefjord offer good opportunities for sea trout and sea bass fishing. Other saltwater fish can also be caught from shore, depending on the tide. If you are interested in salmon or trout fishing, we recommend visiting the large freshwater lakes in the area, as well as the rivers in Ana Sira or Kvinensdal (please note the closed seasons and the requirement for day permits).
In good weather, you can even explore the south coast of Hidras, the Lista Plateau, and the Siragrunnen. Insider tips include the shell cove in Vollesfjord and the so-called "retiree cove" in the immediate vicinity of the house in Stolsfjorden.
The Siragrunnen and the fish-rich Lista plateau (also known as the "football field" due to its vast, sandy, approximately 40-60 meter deep plateau) can be reached by boat in good weather. However, these trips require careful nautical planning and consistently good weather throughout the day.
Keep in mind that you can also fish in the open sea in the Abelnes region, which is one of the best fishing grounds in southern Norway, boasting an impressive variety of fish species and astonishing sizes. Therefore, it's important to plan and consider your trips carefully. Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on the usual weather websites. Also, pay attention to the recommendations of the owners and locals.
A wreck on the Listafjorden near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 meters is considered a hidden gem, where sizable ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack can be found.
At and around Pollackberg in Listafjorden, at a depth of 70 meters, hard-fighting sea fish, especially pollack, are regularly caught, as our pictures clearly demonstrate. Directly south of the lighthouse, at depths of 45 to 80 meters, ling, pollack, and good-sized cod also congregate along the drop-offs.
Fishing in Eidsfjord, near Cape Varnes and Stolsfjord
The fishing area lies directly in front of Eidsfjord, with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord. Here you'll find excellent spots for pollack, cod, and saithe. The sandy bottom promises good catches of cod, ling, and flatfish. Fishing in the fjord is permitted daily. We have often fished in Eidsfjord and Stolsfjord, including at the fjord entrances along the verdant cliffs with their steep, terraced edges and considerable depths, in the opposite Stolsfjord, and towards Cape Varnes with its renowned pollack spots. At Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. Pollack are plentiful there, hiding among the underwater vegetation in shallow water. Do not enter the small bays and harbors; beware of shallows.
In Eidsfjorden itself, you can always find cod, saithe, pollack, and ling, as well as mackerel in the summer, and occasionally salmon and sea trout while trolling. Flounder and plaice prefer sandy bottoms. This alternative is a good option when the wind is northwest and you can't go out to sea. With easterly winds, fishing trips are almost always possible. Please bear in mind that you are fishing here in the fjord, just before the open sea, arguably the best fishing area in southern Norway, with a great diversity of species and surprisingly large fish. Therefore, your trips should be well-planned and carefully considered.
Please check Windguru and yr.no several times a day for wind and wave height in Eidsfjorden (link click).
Fishing in freshwater / in the lakes and streams of the surrounding area:
There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area – for trout, char, and sea trout. On the website Listerfriluft.no you will find an overview of the fishing lakes and sea trout spots. A permit is required for some freshwater lakes and is subject to a fee. Here you can find all the information about freshwater fishing spots in Southern Norway. (Click here)

Leisure tips, activities, and attractions:
We recommend evening visits to the restaurants and pubs in Flekkefjord, such as the Grand Hotel or the Maritim Hotel, which offer excellent cuisine. Live music and dance events often take place on weekends, which are accessible by boat during the day. These trips are prohibited after dark. In the shopping centers, you will find everything you need for a shopping spree. In the Flekkefjord harbor, there is a boat fuel station called "Groennes Marina" offering marine diesel and gasoline. There is also a general store and a new boat fuel station in Abelnes, on Andabeløy. Only card payments with Visa or Mastercard and PIN are accepted here. Additional gas stations and ATMs are easy to find within the town.
The "white" town of Flekkefjord offers a diverse pedestrian zone with numerous shops, restaurants, pubs, dance bars, and other attractions. There are always events and performances, from open-air concerts to other happenings. The local diving club can organize diving trips for you by prior arrangement with the board. At the Flekkefjord harbor entrance, you'll find the historic Grønnes fortress and the only fjord beach with a diving platform. In summer, a boat trip to the popular swimming and barbecue island of Torsoy, located opposite Fjellsa, is highly recommended. If you have any questions about fishing, we're happy to answer them.

There are automatic toll booths along the route. Please register your vehicle at autopass.no . If you choose to drive through the Autopass lanes without registering, you will receive an invoice for the tolls incurred. Leave the E39 at the Flekkefjord exit and continue straight through the roundabout towards the town center. Upon entering Flekkefjord, you will find two petrol stations immediately to your left along the main road. Behind them are several supermarkets (Coop, Spar, Rema 1000, KIWI), which are open until 9 or 10 pm on weekdays. In Flekkefjord (main road, Route 44, Trolldalen, Brogaten), cross the small canal bridge; the canal connects the outer and inner harbors. Continue along the main road out of town. The road then becomes Tjørsvågstrand. FH Fagerstrand is on the left.
