Norwegian westcoast seen from the yak, but no fish..

[aleksander]

Hi!!

Here’s another report from Norway, With both scubadiving and yakking.

Went out early early to change boat, needed the small stinkboat for the scubadivng.
Brought two friends With me for the divesession. Was real nice, a bit cold but niceJ
Whene we finished diving, I drove home and strapped the yak on the car.
Had to do some paddling!
Tried to fish, but caught nothing more than these photos

Enjoy!

The large stinkboat, works well for deep sea fishing and different angling.

great report. What's that building in the last photo? boat house?

[steveooo]

Those pics made me pretty jealous. Awesome scenery out there. I'm going to find the fjord nearest to so cal and head out there...:cheers1:

[dos ballenas]

Epic place... nice pics! What do you catch out deep there? Did you see any brown trout? I hear them bite good after it rains :reel:

[aleksander]

That is our boathouse, but with no room for the boat..
Full of furniture and fishinggear.
But no problem, the boats are on the water all year around.

Catch all sorts of fish:

<table border="1"><tbody><tr><td>anglerfish</td></tr> <tr><td>atlantic halibut</td></tr> <tr><td>(atlantic) cod</td></tr> <tr><td>salmon</td></tr> <tr><td>trout</td></tr> <tr><td>greenland halibut</td></tr> <tr><td>mackerel</td></tr> <tr><td>herring</td></tr> <tr><td>hake</td></tr> <tr><td>haddock</td></tr> <tr><td>eel</td></tr> <tr><td>ling</td></tr> <tr><td>lumpfish</td></tr> <tr><td>picked dogfish</td></tr> <tr><td>plaice</td></tr> <tr><td>pollack</td></tr> <tr><td>redfish</td></tr> <tr><td>saithe / coalfish</td></tr> <tr><td>sprat</td></tr> <tr><td>turbot</td></tr> <tr><td>tusk</td></tr> <tr><td>whiting</td></tr> <tr><td>wolffish</td></tr> <tr><td>perch</td></tr> </tbody></table>
Catch some brown trout in freshwater, but a am more of a saltwater angler.
But they bite in the rain, thats right.

the norwegian name is Lysing, think it is called Hake on english.
You don't want to put you fingers inside that mouth...
