Freizeit und Angeln

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

We also recommend fishing trips on the fjord or out to sea to the best fishing areas in the region, off Mandal, Furuholmen, the offshore islands and the plateaus. By boat and in good weather, you can reach the well-known fishing grounds in southern Norway off Furuholmen and Lindesnes. If

you have a small boat, it is better to fish behind the skerries and not head out to sea straight away. If you have a larger boat, it will take you about 15 minutes from the jetty to the open sea. In the fjords, you can catch sea fish depending on the season, weather and tide.

On the burrows in the open sea, you can expect good coalfish, cod, pollock, mackerel, ling and tusk, and occasionally even a halibut. The river mouth at Furuholmen is known for good sea trout and salmon catches. River sections and their zones may only be fished with a permit. Please pay attention to the closed seasons and fishing limits in the river mouth.

In summer, shoals of mackerel invade deep into the fjords. On the banks and from the jetties, 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 here.

You can also get the best fishing tips from Norway Fishing Friends or the Norway Fishing Forum .

Here (click ) you can find information about salmon fishing in Zone 1, Audna.

If you like fishing for salmon, trout and char, then right here. 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 first!

Please pay attention to the closed seasons and fishing limits in the river mouths. The Audna in particular is home to fantastic salmon in the pools, for the various zones you need a day ticket / permit during the season.

The salmon river Audna (50 km long) flows through the Audnedalen from Ytre Øydnevann to the Snigsfjord by the sea. The river course is very varied and calm stretches alternate with rapids and waterfalls. The width varies between 10 and 20 m and fishing depends heavily on the water level. The first few days after heavy rainfall bring the best results.

In the Audna you can only fish with a state license for salmon and sea trout. You can get this online or at the post office. You also need a permit from the landowner. You can get this from the Mandal tourist office or Lindesnes Tel: 0047 38258068. You can also get the permits in many shops along the river. The prices are low for the really good salmon fishing. Other salmon rivers in the area are the Mandalselva and the Lyngna.

The Audna has seven fishing zones: Interesting Zones 1-3
Zone 1: From the mouth of the sea to Ystholen. The river flows calmly and offers dry fly opportunities for sea trout in the evening hours.
Zone 2: Ystholen up to 150 m below Melhusfoss. Some nice sections for fly fishing. Particularly recommended at medium or low water when no fish are crossing the Melhusfoss.
Zone 3: Melhusfoss. By far the best place. Only a few day tickets are issued and two landowners can fish.
The licenses must be ordered from Audna Fiskerettforening by May 1st and are not particularly cheap.

There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area - for trout, char and sea trout. On the Suednorwegen.org website you can find everything about southern Norway. There is also an overview of the fishing lakes and sea trout spots. For some freshwater lakes, however, you need a permit, which you can pay for.

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 Lyngdal Water Park (45 minutes), the newest bathing facility in Northern Europe, should be planned in bad weather.

The landlord/owner can retain the deposit paid until the damage is repaired. The excess per claim is to be borne by the renter and may differ from the deposit.

In addition, the boat operator must familiarize the crew with the boat technology and the contract conditions and ensure that all passengers wear life jackets on trips.
If the fish are cleaned on the boat or on a filleting table on the jetty, please dispose of the fish waste at sea and not in the harbor basin. Always cover fish waste (seagulls).
