Norway 10th-18th of July 2013

I think Richie has covered everything just right regarding the Norway experience. It's certainly not for the casual angler, it's hard going and requires stamina so get in shape before you book up. It's also not just about catching fish because the scenery is truly breath taking and when you throw in some eagles and dolphins it completes the picture. It aint cheap and in total it will cost about £1200 for 7 days fishing but it's an experience you'll never forget.
It's also 24 hour daylight and I recall an occasion when Richie and I decided to nip out for a short session after our evening meal. We landed at least 20 Cod in about an hour and headed back to base after midnight with the sun still shining.

What an amazing report Richie! Well done to the lot of you!!! Looks truelly amazing!, thanks for sharing!!!

One summer when I get back over I'm seriously going to have to look into a trip to Norway! probably the only way I'm ever going to get a double figure cod! A few sessions from the shore at christmas and a couple on the boat in the summer just ain't enough for me to get that doubler!!!

Cracking stuff Richie!!
