Guided
sea-bass and sea-trout fishing in the Oslo Fjord
The sea-bass fishing here in Norway should be
considered one of the most explosive forms of
salt water fishing. Finding the rod breaking action
should only be trusted to the experts. Well, Netfish.no
has turned to the world's leader and Norwegian
record holder Dr Jonathan Colman.
Dr
Colman has an intimate knowledge of the ecosystem,
environment and especially fishing grounds within
the inner Oslo Fjord. He is a very experienced
salt and fresh water guide from the Northeast
USA. Already in the mid-1980s, Jonathan was guiding
fly fishermen after trout and salmon in the wild
streams and lakes of central Maine. He then continued
guiding in the rich waters off Cape Cod Massachusetts
for striped bass and blue fish. After moving to
Norway, Jonathan developed his expertise as a
scientist working at the biology inst., University
of Oslo and an extremely avid fisherman in the
Oslo fjord.
On average, Jonathan has fished over 30 hours
a week after trout and sea bass routinely during
the last 12 years. Jonathan offers 4-hour or 6-hour
trips with an open boat along the outer islands
of Oslo and Akershus. The time for departure can
be arranged in advance to best fit your schedule.
Jonathan can provide equipment if necessary for
no additional charge. Weekdays are kr. 2,000 per
4-hr trip or kr. 3,000 per 6-hr trip for up to
two people, and weekends are kr. 2,500 and kr.
3,500, respectively. For groups of 3 or more,
the price needs to be pre-arranged. When fishing
for European sea bass, you will also be welcome
to participate in an ongoing scientific project,
taking samples and tagging
As with all large fjord systems knowing where
to find the fish is the key. With out the help
of Doctor J. Colman we would have struggled to
find the schools of fish. Inner Oslo fjord is
a mixture of islands and shallow reefs. The varied
sea bed and changing currents are ideal environments
for fish. The fist sign of this I noticed when
were night fishing. Cod, Herring, sea-trout and
of course Sea-bass gathered on the out going tide.
They gorged in the currents formed by the channels
that ran between the main land and "our"
island. To our utter shock we even caught herring
in the midnight moon shine.
While you consider planning your next adventure
in the nation's capital don't look past the expert
for help. Fishing with one of the top biologists
will not only be a learning experience but you
will tackle some of the true treasures our fishing
grounds have to offer.
