What’s your favourite catch? Halibut, cod or wolf-fish? Trout or salmon pulled from a river? Or do you prefer to go ice fishing and catch Arctic char? Maybe for you the fishing is secondary, and the most important thing is just to enjoy the boat trip or savour the tranquillity of your beautiful spot on the river?
In Helgeland the opportunities are many, regardless of whether you prefer freshwater or deep-sea fishing, and whether you want this to be exclusively a fishing holiday or are content with a single fishing trip
Here is an overview of places to stay where you can also rent a boat. Your hosts will gladly share tips about the best fishing spots, and which fishing gear is most likely to yield the catch of your choice.

Træna Arctic Fishing
Selvær, the second-biggest island of the Træna archipelago, is a quiet and cosy fishing community. Like the rest of Træna, it faces the open sea and lies far from the mainland. Here, you can stay in a modern quayside holiday apartment, and experience scenic Helgeland at its best. You will find excellent fishing, literally thousands of islets and skerries, amazing birdlife, and skies that glow late into the summer nights.
Yttervik
Yttervik, situated in idyllic surroundings by the Ranfjord, offers accommodation a short distance from Mo i Rana’s town centre. The cabins and campsite and the surrounding area is well suited for varied activities for the whole family.
