Freizeit und Angeln

Fishing in the Mandal area, Tarvatnet, Lonestrand, Furuholmen, Snig

We also recommend fishing trips on the fjord or towards the open sea to the best fishing areas in the region off Mandal, Furuholmen, off the offshore islands and on the plateaus. By boat and in good weather, you can reach the famous fishing grounds of southern Norway off Furuholmen and Lindesnes.

If you have a small boat, it is better to fish behind the archipelago and not go out to sea. With a larger boat, it will take you about 15 minutes to reach the open sea from the jetty. You can catch sea fish in the fjords depending on the season, weather and tide.

On the open sea you can catch good coalfish, cod, pollack, mackerel, ling and tusk, as well as the occasional halibut. The river mouth at Furuholmen is known for good sea trout and salmon catches. Sections of the river and their zones may only be fished with a permit. Please pay attention to the closed seasons and fishing limits in the estuary.

In summer, schools of mackerel invade deep into the fjords. They catch sea fish and plenty of flatfish on sandy bottoms, sometimes also salmon and sea trout, depending on the season. The evening hours are particularly recommended.

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

Here (click) you will find information about salmon fishing in zone 1, Audna.

If you like fishing for salmon, trout and char, this is the place to be. The huge Tarvatnet lake with drinking water quality is home to native salmonid species. Please - you need a fishing license for the large Tarvatnet. Please ask in advance!

Please pay attention to the closed seasons and fishing limits in the estuaries. The Audna in particular is home to fantastic salmon in the pools; you will 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 Snigsfjord by the sea. The course of the river is very varied and calm stretches alternate with rapids and waterfalls. The width varies between 10 and 20 m and the fishing depends heavily on the water level. After heavy rainfall, the first few days produce the best results.

The Audna has seven fishing zones: Interesting zone 1-3
Zone 1: From the mouth into the sea to Ystholen. The river flows quietly and offers dry fly opportunities for sea trout in the evening hours.
Zone 2: Ystholen to 150 m below Melhusfoss. Some nice sections for fly fishing. Especially recommended at medium or low tide when no fish pass Melhusfoss.
Zone 3: Melhusfoss. By far the best spot.Only a few day permits are issued and two landowners can also fish.
The licenses must be ordered from Audna Fiskerettforening by 01.05. 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 will find everything you need to know about southern Norway. Also an overview of fishing lakes and sea trout spots. For some freshwater lakes, however, you need a permit for a fee.

In Spangereid, 12 minutes away, you will also find a fishing store, a supermarket and a petrol station with a country store and fishing equipment. In the harbor there you will also find a small shopping area with maritime stores. You can also shop in Vigeland, where there is also an ATM and a first-class bakery. Norwegian attractions, such as the old, re-opened Spangereid Canal, Cape Lindesnes with its lighthouse or various art galleries, such as the Krake Vika with theater performances and other events, are worth seeing. A trip to Badeland Lyngdal (45 min.), the newest bathing facility in Northern Europe, should be planned in case of bad weather. Information can be found on the official tourism website www.nordsjovegen.no .
Walkers and cyclists get their money's worth due to the very varied nature, because the small, white coastal towns of this region are not too far away, nestled together like a pearl.
With plenty of choice and special opening hours, you can also buy many specialties at reasonable prices in the Furuholmen kiosk on Saturdays and Sundays during the season.
Cape Lindesnes should be included in your excursion. Here you can also visit the beacon or take a walk in the old bunkers from the Second World War (take a flashlight). The hotel in Båly with its 'spa wellness department' will also spoil you with great cuisine. There is also the world's only new underwater restaurant in Spangereid (opening at the end of 2018/19).
If you want nightlife, you should drive to Mandal. The drive here takes around 35 minutes.
There is a lot going on here, including a number of restaurants and pubs where you can just have a drink or dance. Mandal offers many cultural sights and the city has a lot to offer shopping fans. Kristiansand Zoo is about 1 hour's drive away. This is a must for families with children. You can find more information at http://www.lindesnesregionen.com/
