The climate along the Norwegian coast is heavily influenced
by the Gulf Stream, resulting in mild winters, though at times
thermals are essential. Conditions at sea can change quickly
so come prepared for everything! Many operators do provide
specialist fishing suits but do check before travelling. The
average temperature in Oslo in July is 19.3 degrees, but
the mercury often rises to above 25 degrees even in North
Norway. The midnight sun occurs from the end of May to the
beginning of August within the Arctic Circle and even in the
south of Norway it doesn’t really get dark in the summer.

Fishing
Deep-sea fishing does not require a permit. An individual
is allowed to take 15 kg of sea fish that they have caught
themselves out of Norway. Certain fish, including cod,
haddock and coley, caught and kept by anglers have to
comply with minimum dimensions. These dimensions
can be found at lovdata.no or can be supplied by your tour
operator. Garages and supermarkets generally sell pirks
and other essential items of tackle. Some fishing centres
also have small tackle shops. Charter operators can
generally provide all necessary tackle if you prefer not to
bring your own.
Money and Credit Cards
The Norwegian Currency is the Krone. Exchange rate at
the time of printing is £1 =9.4 NOK. Norwegian and foreign
currency to a value of NOK 25,000 may be brought into
Norway. Traveller’s cheques are unlimited. Credit cards are
accepted in most places. Most ATMs allow the withdrawal
of money with bank and credit cards.
Driving in Norway
In Norway, you have to drive with dipped headlights
permanently on. The speed limit is 80 km/h on country

private transfers from the nearest airport.
