The accommodation options are many and varied, ranging from a tent and caravan/camper van to snug woodland cabins and luxurious mountain hotels with full board! Whatever you are looking for and whatever your budget you will always find a great place to spend the night.

Namsen - Queen of Rivers

The river namsen and its tributaries have plentiful salmon stocks and a long established angling tradition that began with visiting englishmen - the so-called "salmon lords". The river offers a variety of conditions from the wild upper sections to the steadier flowing lower stretches. You can chose between exclusive packages where you stay in historical surroundings, enjoying delicious food with your own grounds and oarsmen or staying in one of the many rented cabins or campsites along the river. Whichever you prefer you will find what you are looking for in grong, overhalla or namsos.

Inland fishing

There is a good range of inland fishing on offer in all the municipalities along Fiskevägen with rivers, peaceful lakes and small mountain pools all available. Fishing permits can be bought more or less everywhere. There are exciting fishing experiences on offer in the mountain municipalities of Krokom and Lierne as well as in the municipalities Grong, Overhalla and Namsos, which are best known for their salmon fishing and have lovely fishing waters and readily available fishing permits.

Ocean fishing

Flatanger is approx 1 hour from Namsos. It is almost impossible not to land a catch in Flatanger. The most usual fish caught are cod, pollack, redfish, ling, mackerel etc. If you are skilful - or lucky - you might catch a halibut, wolf-fish, salmon, sea trout or another type of fish. You can hire boats with engines from most campsites and those who arrange ocean-fishing experiences.
