Freizeit und Angeln

Fishing in the area of Lindesnes Spangereid, Mandal, Tarvatnet, Lonestrand, Furuholmen, Snig
Sea anglers can fish in the fjord and the open sea, or pursue flatfish from the shore. We recommend a boat trip to the region's best fishing areas, off the islands and onto the plateaus near Lindesnes - Spangereid. Depending on the boat's power, it will take you about 10-20 minutes to reach the open sea. In the fjord mouths you can catch all kinds of sea fish (20 species of good sizes), depending on the season, weather, and tide. On the open sea, good cod, pollock, coalfish, ling, and tusk, among others, await you. Why not try float fishing for cod and plaice from the jetty while you're having a barbecue? Please pay attention to the closed seasons and fishing limits in the river mouths. From summer until early November, shoals of mackerel invade deep into the fjord. Depending on the season, you can also catch sea fish and flatfish directly from land on the nearby beaches. Your contact person will give you on-site instructions on the fishing grounds. Furuholmen also has two experienced fishing guides available for booking.

We also recommend fishing trips on the fjord or out to sea to the region's best fishing spots off Mandal, Furuholmen, the islands off the coast, and the plateaus. By boat and in good weather, you can reach the well-known fishing grounds of Southern Norway off Furuholmen and Lindesnes.

If you're in a small boat, it's better to fish behind the skerries rather than heading out to sea. With a larger boat, it's about a 15-minute drive from the pier to the open sea. Catching sea fish in the fjords depends on the season, weather, and tide.

On the burrows of the open sea, you'll find good coalfish, cod, pollock, mackerel, ling, and tusk, along with the occasional halibut. The estuary near Furuholmen is known for its good sea trout and salmon catches. River sections and their zones may only be fished with a permit. Please observe the closed seasons and fishing limits in the estuary.

In summer, schools of mackerel invade deep into the fjords. Along the shorelines and from the jetties, they catch saltwater fish and plenty of flatfish on the sandy bottom, sometimes also salmon and sea trout, depending on the season. The evening hours are especially recommended.

You can also get the best fishing tips from the Norway fishing friends or in the Norway fishing forum .

Here (click ) you can find information about salmon fishing in Zone 1, Audna.

If you enjoy fishing for salmon, trout, and char, this is the place for you. The vast Tarvatnet Lake, with drinking water quality, is home to native salmonid species. Please note: You will need a fishing license for the large Tarvatnet Lake. Please ask in advance!

Please pay attention to the closed seasons and fishing limits in the estuaries. The Audna River, in particular, is home to fantastic salmon pools; you'll need a day ticket/permit for the various zones during the season.

The Audna Salmon River (50 km long) flows through the Audnedalen valley from Ytre Øydnevann to the Snigsfjord at the sea. The river's course is highly varied, with calm rivers alternating with rapids and waterfalls. The width varies between 10 and 20 m, and fishing depends heavily on the water level. The first few days after heavy rainfall produce the best results.

Fishing in the Audna River is only permitted with a state license for salmon and sea trout. These can be obtained online or by mail. A landowner's permit is also required. This can be obtained from the Mandal Tourist Office or Lindesnes (tel: +47 38258068). Licenses are also available at many riverside shops. Prices are low for the truly excellent salmon fishing. Other salmon rivers in the area include the Mandalselva River and the Lyngna River.

The Audna has seven fishing zones: Interesting Zones 1-3
Zone 1: From the estuary to Ystholen. The river flows gently and offers dry fly fishing opportunities for sea trout in the evenings.
Zone 2: Ystholen up to 150 m below Melhusfoss. Several beautiful sections for fly fishing. Especially recommended during mid- or low-water periods, when no fish are crossing the Melhusfoss.
Zone 3: Melhusfoss. By far the best spot. Only a few day permits are issued, and two landowners can fish.
The licenses must be ordered from the Audna Fiskerettforening by May 1st and are not cheap.

There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area – for trout, char, and sea trout. On the website Suednorwegen.org, you can find everything about Southern Norway, including an overview of fishing lakes and sea trout spots. However, a permit is required for some freshwater lakes, which are subject to a fee.
