THE PIONERS IN BALEVIK BAY - THE HERITAGE

It started with my grandfather's boat in the picture. Salmon fishing at Veganeset. Experiences and joy created in a boat made for work, learning and mastering new skills - Unique and Real!

Balestrand Fjord Angling is the boat that continues the cheerful, good pioneering spirit and fjord fishing culture found in the bay of Balevika. It is located outside the famous St. Olaf Church. Here I grew up and now you can read a little more about how my family performs a traditional long line fishing ..

Captain Tor is on his way out in the open boat called “Balestrand Fjord Angling” A specially built boat Øyen 620F. F stands for fisherman. Here is clean, tidy, simple and safe. This long line fishery is proper local tradition for food down to 1000 m deep. This is how my family has been fishing for 4 generations. The fish was salted with us and Ling fish were hung to dry on the boathouse wall for “lutefisk”
