Fishing in Østfold – a nature experience by the water

Østfold’s lakes and rivers offer abundant fishing opportunities, both from a boat and from shore. Østfold is a paradise for fishing enthusiasts, with idyllic lakes, rivers, and coastal areas teeming with life. Here you can fish for everything from trout and pike to sea trout and mackerel. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, you’ll find perfect spots for both tranquility and excitement. Bring your fishing rod and enjoy Østfold’s stunning nature! 

You can fish in everything from Norway’s longest river, the Glomma, to nutrient-rich small streams and ponds in the agricultural landscape, all the way down to small, unnamed puddles and tarns. The waterways in Enningdalen have retained much of their original natural character and are home to an early-migrating salmon population that has been moderately affected by external influences.
