Experience Lofoten Fishing All Year Round

Our fishing boat, Trio II, is 70 foot, and protected by the National Heritage Board. It has two fishing decks, and a total of six fishing stations. We use the traditional Norwegian fishing equipment juksahjul (jigger wheel), which is designed to be able to handle large fish.

On either a day or a multi-day trip, you can become a real Lofoten fisherman on board Trio II. Let us create the perfect trip for you.

Winter Fishing
“Lofotfiske” – seasonal fishing in the Lofoten area – takes place from January to April. The area’s main winter fish is the “skrei”, or Northeast Atlantic cod, which travels all the way from the Barents Sea to Lofoten to spawn. If you’re lucky enough to catch a cod that weighs more than 30 kg, you’ve definitely earned bragging rights. Cod of this size are locally known as “coffee cod” and, if you catch one, the local newspaper will treat you to 1 kg of coffee as a prize.

Summer Fishing
The area’s main summer fish is saithe/pollock, and we fish for it mainly in July and August. We’ll set course towards the maelstrom at Lofotodden, which has always been a popular area for saithe/pollock. This species of fish is strong, so if you’ve got a big fish, it might be good to have several people help pull it up.

Year-Round Fishing
Fishing in Lofoten is a must for a lot of people who visit the area. There’s always fish in the sea, although they don’t always bite on the first try. We offer fishing trips year-round. Cod, saithe/pollock, haddock, ling, redfish, mackerel and catfish are among the fish we most often catch onboard.

Day Trips
Our day trips with Trio II last for four hours. Once aboard, it usually takes 45 minutes to get to the good fishing spots. During transport you can enjoy panoramic views of the dramatic Lofoten Wall. On the way back to our base you’ll likely get to watch as the captain guts the fish that you caught. Keep your eyes open, as eagles may swoop down to get some easily accessible food.

Overnight Trips
Trio II was originally a fishing boat that housed 6-7 fishermen for several months at a time.
The boat can accommodate up to ten overnight guests. It has one 4-person cabin and three
2-person cabins. There are also two bathrooms, a galley (kitchen), a booth (dining area) and
a lounge onboard. Just like with real Lofoten fishing, the weather, wind, and fish set our
course.

Lofoten på tvers Først rib-tur fra Reine rundt Lofotodden med flere stopp underveis ved gamle bosettinger og havørn-områder. Ble satt av ved Stokkvika på nordsida og gikk derfra tilbake til Å, over en ganske krevende fjelloverganger på ca. 450 moh. I Å ble vi hentet av rib'en og tatt tilbake til Reine. En helt fantastisk dag!

Top notch! Fantastic fishing trip with the whole family group. Spacious and well equipped fishing vessel. Lars and his crew were friendly and excellent guides. Loads of fish - and all members of the group had their part. The children were exited. A fantastic dinner from the catch in the evening.

Fantastic fishing trip. We were 4 adults and 4 children age 5, 9, 11 and 12 who booked fishing with Trio II. It was all an incredible fishing experience. We dumped more than 7 Pallocks less than 4 pounds as to small. We got rescue suites so all you need is warm shoes and something to keep your head warm. People should be seaworthy, though, not everybody can be as lucky with the weather as we were.

Fantastisk fisketur i flotte omgivelser Uforglemmelig fisketur der fiskesnøret ikke rakk bunnen før den var full med fisk! Anbefales på det varmeste!
