4 Places for Fishing in Norway

[Tony]

Torjus (torjusg) has kindly offered to take 4 Bushcraft UK members fishing in Norway. This is a great opportunity for an experience to remember!

Payment will be 2000 NOK or about 170£. The trip lasts 10 days starting 01.07.2006 ending 10.07 Average pysical condition or better is required and Torjus will not take responsibility for your life or health. Fishing license is not included, but is very inexpensive about 17£ for a year.

This is from Torjus…

Netfishing
Linefishing (line with many hooks)
And possibly seine net fishing

You should also have a fishing rod as this is what we will use most of the time. We will do lots of bait-fishing and we'll sleep in a lavoo every night. I guarantee that you catch fish, but I don't guarantee for it's size, although we will be fishing in lakes with trout of 3-4 kilos.

We will fish every single day and live on whatever we catch as well as some moose meat and wild plants. Except from that, food is not covered and everyone should have some money for a backup supply of food.

As a sign of trust, payment will be done on arrival. Application is binding, but if anyone has to cancel, please tell me so I can book another person. Everyone will have to plan how to get to the destination by themselves, but I'll happily offer help. The place to look for is Fyresdal in Telemark county in Southern Norway.

Anyone interested contact Torjus (forum name - torjusg )

Enjoy yourself

Also would like to add that we may to alot of other primitive skills around the campfire. I can teach you knapping, making bows and arrows, cordage making etc.. And I also would appreciate if anyone could teach me how to do a proper fire by friction (having very inconsistent results). Got lots of antler to work with, both moose and reindeer.

If you have any questions, please ask away!

There are flights there from:
Glasgow
London
Newcastle
Liverpool etc...

I'll contact the bus-company on the what the bus will cost.

Edit: The bus costs 330 NOK one way. 495 NOK (about 42£) both ways.

Edit: Stuart, that would be July.....

To aviod any misunderstandings, the expediton is not to take place where I live, which is Trondheim. But much further south, where I come from. In Telemark county.

It's 49.99 each way at the moment but they might have a sale a bit closer to the time. The current cheap seats only seem to extend to March.

If there is still a place, can I come please?
I haven't fished for trout in some years, and always wanted to try doing so in something more interesting than a weekly stocked gravel pit!

Any chance of fly fishing? Not primitive, but can be a lot of fun too.

No problem at all. There will be plenty of time for that.

Edit: There are still two places left.

One thing. The location is pretty remote and buses doesn't go there very often. Because of that you have to add one day in every direction to make sure you will be in time when your plane leaves.

I will of course fix you a place to stay the extra nights you need. It will not cost you anything extra.

Please include me in your travelling plans. As most information on travelling around here is only offered in Norwegian, I think that would be helpful.

And if you wish me to put you in contact with eachother, in case you wish to travel together, again just ask.

Torjus,

I'd be keen to go (especially if I might be able to wet a fly-line).

My boss is away at present so I can't confirm for a day or two, but I'd be keen on a place if I can book provisionally, to confirm before end of this week.

If not, so be it.

PM sent on similar lines.

Regards,

Jim.

Thought I would post and bring this to the top again.
How are we doing for people? Who is coming
Torjus mailed me a map and proposed itinerary but there is a limit on what can be talked about until the number is made up. It looks like it could be a fantastic trip.

Hi Chris looks like just you and I from the uk

 

[torjusg]

If someone is sitting on the fence and is uncertain, just ask whatever you like. Either here, by private messaging or by mail.

I can send you the maps if you want to see the route for yourself.
