Seasons

Live Lofoten offers a year-round fishing experience, with distinct seasonal highlights. The prime time for Arctic Cod fishing is during March and April, when the cod congregate to spawn, creating an abundance of fish. As spring transitions into summer, May and June offer excellent opportunities for catching flounder and catfish, with the chance of hooking a well-grown spring cod. The summer months, particularly July and August, are dedicated to pursuing large saithe, which provide a vigorous fight on the line. Autumn brings a varied catch, with halibut, haddock, and saithe all being active and willing to bite. While specific months for salmon and king crab safaris are not detailed, these activities are generally available throughout the operational season, offering unique culinary and wildlife encounters.
