General information about the property:
Holiday home Litle Helle is in a very quiet and unique location on a dream holiday spot in the fjord world of the Stolsfjorden in front of Abelnes near Flekkefjord, about 8 minutes by boat from the port of Abelnes, directly on the shore of the fish-rich Stolsfjorden. Adjacent are the Strandsfjorden near Andabelöy, the Eidsfjord and Fedafjord, Vollesfjord and the Flekkefjord. Off the island of Andabelöy lies the Listafjorden to the east and the island of Hidra to the south. On Andabeloya at the Oyna country store there is also a boat filling station for diesel and petrol / 24 hours, only EC card or Visa with PIN.
The privately owned holiday home is located on its own on a completely secluded and sun-drenched natural plot and has a really large terrace and its own boat bridge at the boathouse. The terrace faces south. In the background of the house is a small mountain range. In the wider neighborhood is our holiday home Stolsfjorden, as well as three other summer houses, which are occupied by the Norwegian owners in the summer months. Properties in this location are rarely offered, and because this space is so valuable, this dream property can only be reached by water, in less than 8 minutes by boat from Abelnes. No problem, in our opinion. There are also 2 parking spaces on the nearby mainland that belong to the house. For quick and small purchases, the country store opposite on the island of Andabeloy is a good option, which you can also reach in 8 minutes by boat. We recommend a boat trip to the Flekkefjorden and the Dutch town of Flekkefjords. Here you can moor at the guest harbor and stock up on supplies to your heart's content in the adjacent shopping centers. The journey to Flekkefjord harbor takes about 20 minutes. It takes almost the same amount of time by car from Abelnes to Flekkefjord. Before Flekkefjord, on the right-hand side, is the boat filling station Grönnes Marina. Here you can moor and conveniently fill up at the machines. (only possible with Visa or Mastercard with PIN). On the nearby island of Andabeloy at the Oyna country store, there is a filling station for diesel and gasoline / 24 hours, only EC card or Visa with PIN.

Fishing in the sea and in the fjords near Flekkefjord, from Abelnes to Hidra
From your location in the Flekkefjord and Abelnes region you have excellent opportunities for fishing for sea trout and sea fish, depending on the tides and the time of year.
The sea fish in this region are very diverse. The region's quiet fjord location offers many advantages, especially for anglers, diving groups and families with children who love fishing, from where you can reach the best fishing areas. With our good boat you can easily reach the most famous fishing grounds in southern Norway.
These include the Flekkefjord, the bubble bay near Fjellsa (reachable in just 10-15 minutes), as well as the Vollesfjord and Strandsfjord near Andabelöy, Eidsfjorden, the Stolsfjorden, the Hidrasund and the Fedafjord.
The wreck of the Gudrun, which sank outside the port in Abelnes during World War II, is a popular attraction for divers from all over the world in spring, summer and autumn. The shores off Grönnes in Flekkefjord offer good opportunities for mefo fishing and sea bass fishing. Other sea fish can also be caught from land here, depending on the tide. If you are interested in salmon or trout fishing, we recommend that you also visit the large freshwater lakes in the area and the rivers in Ana Sira or Kvinensdal (please note the closed seasons and the need for day permits).
If the weather is good, you can even explore the south coast of Hidras, the Lista Plateau and the Siragrunnen. Insider tips include the mussel bay in Vollesfjorden and the so-called "pensioners' bay" in the immediate vicinity of the house in Stolsfjorden.
The Siragrunnen and the fish-rich Lista plateau (also known as the football field because of the huge, sandy plateau, about 40-60 meters deep) can be reached by boat in good weather. However, these trips require careful seamanship and really good standing weather throughout the day.
It is important to remember that you can also fish in the open sea in the Abelnes region, which is one of the best fishing areas in southern Norway with an impressive variety of fish species and amazing sizes. It is therefore important that you plan and consider your trips carefully. Please check the wind and wave heights several times a day on the usual weather websites. Also pay attention to the recommendations of the owners and the locals.
An insider tip is a wreck on the Listafjorden near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 metres, where impressive ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack can be found.
On and around the pollack mountain in the Listafjorden at a depth of 70 meters, strong sea fish, especially pollack, are regularly caught, as our pictures clearly show. Ling, pollack and good cod can also be found directly south of the lighthouse, at a water depth of 45 to 80 meters, on the cliffs.
Fishing in Eidsfjord, Cape Varnes and Stolsfjorden
The fishing area is directly in front of the Eidsfjord with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord, where there are very good spots for pollock, cod and coalfish. The sandy bottom promises good catches of cod, ling and flatfish. Fishing in the fjord is possible every day. We have often fished in the Eidsfjorden and Stolsfjorden, also at the fjord entrances of the green cliffs with their sloping, steep edges and very great depths, in the Stolsfjorden opposite or in the direction of Cape Varnes with its well-known pollock spots. There, at Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. There are plenty of pollock there between the underwater plants at a shallow depth. Do not go into the small bays and harbors, be careful of shallows.
In the Eidsfjorden itself there are always cod, coalfish, pollock, ling, mackerel in summer, and occasionally salmon and sea trout when trolling. Flounder and plaice like to be on sandy ground. This alternative is a good option when there is a northwest wind and you cannot go out. When there is an east wind, trips are almost always possible. Please remember that you are fishing here in the fjord just before the open sea, probably the best fishing area in southern Norway with a large variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Your trips should therefore be well planned and considered.
Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on Windguru and yr.no Eidsfjorden (Link Click)

There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area - for trout, char and sea trout. On the Listerfriluft.no website you will find an overview of the fishing lakes and sea trout spots. For some freshwater lakes you need a permit, which you can pay for. Here you will find all the information about the freshwater fishing spots in southern Norway. (Click here)

Leisure - tips, activities - 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. There are also often live music and dance events at weekends, which can also be reached by boat during the day. These trips are prohibited after dark. In the shopping centers you will find everything you need to shop to your heart's content. In the harbor of Flekkefjord there is a boat filling station called "Groennes Marina" for boat diesel and gasoline. There is also a land shop and a new boat filling station in Abelnes on Andabelöy. Here you can only pay by card with Visa or Mastercard with PIN. Other car filling stations and ATMs are easy to find in the city area.
The "white" town of Flekkefjord offers a varied pedestrian area with many shops, restaurants, pubs and dance bars as well as other attractions. There are always events and performances here, from open-air concerts to other events. The local diving club can arrange diving trips by prior arrangement with the board. At the port exit of Flekkefjord you will find the historic Grönnes fortress and the only fjord sandy beach with diving tower. In summer, you should definitely take a boat to the popular bathing and barbecue island of Torsoy, which is located opposite Fjellsa. If you have any questions about fishing, we will be happy to answer them. Under these links (click here) you will find a variety of activities in the Flekkefjord area, Hollenderbyen - the Dutch town, draisine riding on the legendary Flekkefjord railway, the Brufjell caves, the Blue Mountains caves, Flekkefjord Museum, Flekkefjord diving club, Grønnes beach.
