\n\t\t\t\tA true fishing story: the world\u2019s largest sea trout weighing 19.85 kg was caught in the Lakselva River in Porsanger! Porsanger boasts 4,000 fishing lakes, so there\u2019s plenty of room for you and your fishing rod. Come in summer and fish under the Midnight Sun, or in late winter for ice fishing.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Four thousand fishing lakes lie dotted throughout a landscape of woods and mountain plateaus. In many places, one lake runs almost into another, with only a stream between them. The countryside is virtually deserted, so you are alone with the rich birdlife and the reindeer grazing in their summer pastures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trout, Arctic char and more can be fished in the area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three salmon rivers in Porsanger, as well as many other rivers where sea char and sea trout run. Most of the lakes in this part of the country, however, contain freshwater trout or Arctic char. In some lakes in the southern-most part of Porsanger you\u2019ll also find species more common in eastern regions of Norway, such as common whitefish, grayling and pike. <\/p>\n\n\n
