Freizeit und Angeln

Fishing and leisure activities in Farsund and Bjoernevag Region

Fishing in Farsund, Bjoernevag, Nordstranda and the waters outside Katland on the sea up to Cape Lindesnes.

In the area around Farsund, with its fjords, island gardens, skerries and the extremely fish-rich plateaus on the sea off Katland and the Kletten, water sports and saltwater fishing (all types) are at the top of your daily agenda. For diving, kiting, surfing and leisure, sports and hobby anglers, the area is always known for surprises.

Good catches of impressive sea fish such as cod, pollack, coalfish, shad and lumpfish, sometimes halibut, as well as mackerel in abundance are brought home from the sea hotspots off Farsund, between Lindesnes Fyr and Lista Fyr. Of course we know that the success rate depends on the weather, the time of year and the currents, but that's just how it is on the coasts all over Norway. Many of our guests have sent us pictures, videos and feedback on their fishing experiences, see for yourself. (Click on impressions)

Here you will also find the best and most impressive fishing videos of our fishing friends Achim and Claus from the Bjoernevag, Farsund and Borhaug region of the last 10 years.

Here you can find the fishing films from The Achim Videos" 2014 – 2023" (Link) on YouTube

The exciting videos show once again that fishing in the Lista region is very productive when the weather is stable. The sizes of the fish caught are particularly impressive, although it is often said that there are no big fish in southern Norway."

It is important to use the right fishing gear and methods. Here you will find the right tips on equipment and the fishing methods we recommend. (Click link)

The open sea with its plateaus Nesskletten, Svaneflua, Rauna and other good fishing spots should only be approached with suitable boats and only in stable weather.

What is important to us: You should only go to offshore fishing spots when the weather is stable and with a suitable boat! Small dinghies should avoid offshore fishing areas and have no place on the open sea.

After all, the entire area offers more than 20 species of fish that can be caught. You can fish between the islands and skerries, or in the protected fjord, with hardly any days off to speak of, in almost any weather. In good weather with little wind, you can easily reach the open sea and the sandy plateaus from most of the locations. In the wintery spring, the herring come to the coast, along with strong fighting cod and coalfish.

Flatfish, flounder and mefo can be caught from some of the jetties, as well as other sea fish. The owner can usually give you good weather tips and pointers to worthwhile fishing spots. Wind-protected fishing in the fjord is almost always possible. So if you want to combine fishing and family, a short journey and many alternative holiday activities, this region is the place for you.

You can book professionally guided fishing trips from Farsund or Borhaug. The operator Björnevags also offers guided deep sea and high sea fishing trips, for example, with M/S Bjørnevåg, 32 ft/100 HP, certified for 5-8 people. The tour lasts around 6 hours and only takes place with a binding confirmation. (Can only be booked and paid for on site in Björnevag).

Fishing at Nordstranda:
At different times of the year, schools of mackerel and other sea fish species move into the Helvikfjorden near Norstranda. From April onwards, fishing for sea trout directly from the jetty at Nordstranda or at the "Svingbru v Bøensbakken" is extremely promising and successful. We believe that the best sea trout fishing can be found on the banks and beaches of Farsund, or even under the bridge in the town centre when it's windy. We have tested this ourselves and have been very successful.

In the summer of 2023, a pod of peaceful killer whales (orcas) even moved into the inner fjords and stayed there for several weeks to feed and rest. Visitors should stay away from these majestic animals and the seals by boat and always keep a sufficient distance.

Did you know that from our new Nordstranda facility near Helvik you can take a boat through the fjords to Lyngdal or Apta? Or in just 15 minutes you can go straight to the town centre of Farsund and from there quickly out to sea, past the Katland lighthouse?

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)

We wish you much success, fun and good fishing.

The beautiful and maritime town center of Farsund with its quay and port facilities - a highlight is the proximity to the town center of Farsund, as there are plenty of shops and a shopping mall. The ladies traveling with you will be delighted, there is a lot of Nordic fashion to look at or buy here. Several boat filling stations, shopping centers and various grocery stores (KIWI, COOP, SPAR, REMA 1000, Joker) are very easy to find. Farsund offers many cultural attractions and the town has a lot to offer for shopping fans.

If you want to experience some excitement on the weekend, you should go to Farsund, Vanse ( 8th Avenue" ) Lyngdal or Flekkefjord.

In addition to several restaurants, pubs and dance bars with live music, you will find a place for young and old to dance and celebrate to Norwegian live music at the weekend, not only in the Bondeheimen pub ( click to Facebook ) or the floating bar "Over " on the quay.

There are many interesting things to do for people in a party mood. There is a lot going on here in the summer. Music and dance events take place during the holidays. There are many open pubs and open-air events where you can just have a drink or dance.

Hikers, motorcyclists and cyclists get their money's worth thanks to the very diverse nature, as the small, white coastal towns in this region are lined up like a pearl, not too far away.

Excursions:
Visit Farsund with its many summer attractions, Lindesnes, the Sørlandsbadet (click on link) in Lyngdal, the white Lista beaches at Farsund and Vanse, Lyngdal and the Lista lighthouse at Borhaug,

Hiking on the Eventyrstien (Adventure Trail), trip to Pre i kestolen (click on link), Spangereid Viking Land, the lighthouse at the southernmost point of Norway, the South Cape Lindesnes and more

The Adrenalin Park (click on link) with its activity park near Borhaug is also exciting for kids.

Lista is known worldwide for its special light! Fascinating to see how the sea changes with the wind, sun and weather and how the play of light transforms the landscape, a true Mecca for photographers.

Horse riding, an alpaca farm, football and volleyball fields, probably the best outdoor skating track, a large go-kart race track at the Lista Aktiv Park, a fitness studio with solarium, this region offers its guests all of this to pass the time.

A visit to the rustic stone fields from the Ice Age is an absolute must.
If it's windy or the fishing weather is bad, take a walk along the coast near Jölle and Snekkestö. On hikes along the shores you can find many ancient and maritime items after an extreme storm. Develop a passion for collecting and use your finds to make great eye-catchers for your home. Lista has great, long hiking areas and it's also wonderful for cycling.

Visit the hidden mountain lakes in the hinterland, which are warm in summer, and find typical local mushrooms such as chanterelles and porcini mushrooms.

The existing and exemplary signposted hiking trails (over 200 km in total) are only to be conquered by experienced hikers. Let yourself be challenged and get active... we hope you have fun. Other good leisure tips from the Farsund and Lista region: (click)
