Fishing in Flekkefjord, from Abelnes to Hidra
Fishing in the sea and fjords:
From where you are staying in the Flekkefjord and Abelnes region, you have excellent opportunities for sea trout and sea fishing, depending on the tides and the time of year.
The sea fish in this region are very species-rich. Especially for anglers, diving groups and fishing enthusiastic families with children, the quiet fjord location of the region offers many advantages, 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 at Fjellsa (only 10-15 minutes away), the Vollesfjord and Strandsfjord at Andabelöy, Eidsfjorden, Stolsfjorden, Hidrasund and Fedafjord.
The wreck of the Gudrun, which sank off the harbor in Abelnes during World War II, is a popular attraction for divers from all over the world in spring, summer and autumn. On the shores off Grönnes in Flekkefjord there are good opportunities for mefo fishing and sea bass fishing. Other sea fish can also be caught here from land, 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 tickets).
In good weather, you can even explore the south coast of Hidras, the Lista Plateau and 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 Listaplateau (also known as the soccer pitch because of the huge, sandy plateau, which is around 40-60 meters deep) can be reached by boat in good weather. However, these trips require careful nautical planning and really good weather conditions throughout the day.
It should be noted that you can also fish here in the Abelnes region on the open sea, which is one of the best fishing grounds with an impressive variety of fish species and amazing sizes in southern Norway. It is therefore important that you plan and weigh up your trips carefully. Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on the usual weather sites. Also follow the recommendations of the owners and the locals.
An insider tip is a wreck in the Listafjorden near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 meters, where you can find impressive ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack.
At and around the 'Pollackberg' in Listafjorden at a depth of 70 meters with its occurrence, strong sea fish, especially pollack, are regularly hooked, as our pictures prove. Ling, pollack and good cod can also be found directly south of the lighthouse, from 45 to 80 meters water depth, at the break-off noses.
Fishing in the Eidsfjord, near Cape Varnes and Stolsfjorden
The fishing area is located directly in front of the Eidsfjord with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord, here are very good spots for pollack, 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, including at the fjord entrances to the green cliffs with their stepped drop-offs and great depths, in the Stolsfjorden opposite or towards Cape Varnes with its famous pollack spots. There, at Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. The pollack are abundant there among the underwater plants at shallow depths. Do not enter the small bays and harbors, beware of shallows.
In Eidsfjorden itself there are always cod, coalfish, pollack, ling, mackerel in summer, and occasionally salmon and sea trout when trolling. Flounder and plaice like to be found on sandy bottoms. This alternative is ideal in north-westerly winds when you can't go out. In easterly winds, trips are almost always possible. Please bear in mind that you are fishing here in the fjord just before the open sea, probably the best fishing area in southern Norway with a great variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Therefore, your trips should be well planned and considered.
Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on Windguru and yr.no Eidsfjorden (link click)Fishing in fresh water / in the lakes and streams in the area:
There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area - for trout, char and sea trout. On the page Listerfriluft.no you will find an overview of fishing lakes and sea trout spots. Some freshwater lakes require a permit for which a fee is charged. Here you can find all the information about freshwater fishing spots in southern Norway. (click here)

Leisure tips, activities and 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. In addition, there is often live music and dancing at the weekend, which can also be reached by boat during the day. These trips are not permitted after dark. In the shopping centers you will find everything you need to store to your heart's content. In the harbor of Flekkefjord there is a boat filling station called "Groennes Marina" for boat diesel and gasoline. In Abelnes, on Andabelöy, there is also a land-based shop and a new boat filling station. 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" Flekkefjord offers a varied pedestrian zone with many stores, restaurants, pubs, dance bars and other attractions. There are constant events and performances here, from open-air concerts to other events. At the local diving club, you can organize diving tours by prior arrangement with the management. At the end of Flekkefjord harbor you will find the historic Grönnes fortress and the only sandy beach in the fjord with a diving platform. In summer, you should definitely take a boat trip 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 rides on the legendary Flekkefjord Railway, the Brufjell Caves, the Blue Mountain Caves, Flekkefjord Museum, Flekkefjord Diving Club, Grønnes Strand.Here you will find everything about activities in the Flekkefjord area (click)

Recommended journey - ferries:
By ferry from Hirtshals(DK) to Kristiansand (N). We will be happy to help you choose the cheapest ferries (Colorline or Fjordline) and book them reliably for you on request.
Information on getting there:
Hidra is an island near Flekkefjord halfway between Stavanger and Kristiansand. The distance to these cities is approx. 125 kilometers (journey time approx. 2 hours). The long-distance buses go directly to Flekkefjord from Kristiansand or Stavanger. The car ferry runs every half hour / hour from the mainland Kvellandstrand to the island during the day, from 06:35 - 23:35, at weekends until 01:30 or 02:30. Departure from the island to the mainland is at "five to half past half". However, the ferry does not cross to the mainland before 06:25.
New is that you can now order the ferry from Hidra to the mainland at 04.00 h via a service number. However, it is best to plan your journey home with the afternoon ferries from Kristiansand, as you will not be able to catch the 8 a.m. ferry to Denmark on time if you leave the island at 06:35! The ferry price depends on the number of people in the car/trailer and will be charged on the return journey.
Please note the summer/winter timetable of the ferry.
Journey from Kristiansand: After leaving the ferry/customs, follow the signs to Stavanger/Flekkefjord (E 39), approx. 125 KM to the destination.
There are automatic toll booths on the route. Please log on to autopass.no and register your vehicle there. If you wish to drive through the Autopass lanes without registering, you or the owner will later receive a normal toll invoice for the charges incurred. Leave the "E39" at the Flekkefjord exit and drive straight on through the traffic circle towards the town center. When you enter Flekkefjord, there are two petrol stations on the left-hand side of the road, behind them are several supermarkets (Coop, Spar, Rema 1000, KIWI), which are open during the week until 21.00 or 22.00 hours. In Flekkefjord follow road 44 for approx. 5 km, at the Abelnes/Hidra sign turn off onto road 469 to Kvellanstrand / Hidra. (signpost)
Continue on Hidra: After leaving the ferry on Hidra, follow the road to Eie. Turn right at the junction near the bridge and continue in the direction of Kirkehamn / Kirkehavn. In Kirkehamn, drive past the store on the right towards the church and follow the signs to Omland / Kada. Drive up a narrow road, just before the hill you will see FH Panorama on the right.

Binding rules of conduct - liability of the hirer:
We expect you not to drink alcohol on board, as you as the skipper bear a great deal of responsibility for the crew.
The hirer is liable for any damage caused by themselves and also for any damage caused by other users of the boat. The use of the boat is at the hirer's and all other users' own risk. The hirer shall inform his crew in good time that they may need to take out appropriate insurance against loss events themselves before the start of the trip. In addition, the skipper must familiarize the crew with the boat technology and the terms of the contract and ensure that all passengers wear life jackets on the trips.

Restriction of area:
Voyages are only permitted in the adjacent and suitable waters of the home port and near the coast.
