Registered fishing camp
Being an officially registered tourist fishing enterprise means that Fjordcamp operates in accordance with Norwegian regulations for tourist fishing. This includes strict requirements for safety, reporting, and responsible handling of marine resources.
As a registered business, we are obligated to report all catch taken by our guests, ensure that fishing is carried out in a sustainable manner, and provide clear guidelines so visitors can follow current laws.
Rules for Tourist-fishing
Norway upholds strict regulations to protect marine resources and ensure sustainable fishing practices.
As an officially registered tourist fishing operator, Fjordcamp can facilitate the required export registration. Please note that this registration can only be issued if you are staying with us or renting one of our boats, and only when all regulatory requirements have been fully met.
Fjordcamp gladly welcomes guests who wish to fish, provided that all national rules and guidelines listed below are followed.
Export Quota
-
Tourists are allowed to take up to 15 kg (fillet or whole, gutted) out of Norway.

This applies only if the fish was caught with a registered fishing tourism operator, such as Fjordcamp.
Mandatory catch Reporting

New regulations require all guests to report their catch daily.

Fjordcamp sends a registration link where your catch must be reported each day before 23:00.
