Do you dream of fresh sea air and big fish? Eigersund is the place - an eldorado for coastal and salmon fishing in spectacular nature!

Sea fishing

Eigersund is a paradise for fishing enthusiasts who love fresh sea air and beautiful nature. With a rich coastal fishing tradition that has evolved from a necessity of life to a popular pastime, the Eigersund coast offers countless opportunities for recreation.

There are many good fishing spots along the coast, and a detailed sea fishing map for the municipality is available. If you want an extra experience, you can book a guided fishing trip or hire a boat from NAF Steinsnes Camping to explore the fishing waters from the sea.

Freshwater fishing and salmon fishing

Eigersund also offers some of the best salmon fishing in Norway. Tengselva is famous for the salmon's journey through the river and the salmon ladder - a fascinating experience for all ages. Bjerkreimselva also has a reputation as one of Norway's best salmon rivers, both nationally and internationally.
