Dolmsundet, Dolmøya og Frohavet - a multi species fishing paradise!

The fishing and deep-sea fishing in Hitra, especially in Dolmsundet, around Dolmøya and Frohavet is rare in terms of species diversity.

Throughout the ages fishing and seafood has been extremely important for island survival and the primary food source in Dolmsundet and Hitra. Here in Dolmsundet the art of fishing and the knowledge of the fishing grounds has been passed down for several generations. We have approx. 40 marked fishing hotspots where you can fish for different types of fish. Guests will receive a fishing hotspot map upon arrival.

Each season has its dedicated fishery and underwater life. In the fall, you have an opportunity to catch monster halibuts and, in the winter, the big cod comes to Dolmsundet to spawn.

Winter is the best time to fish in Hitra due to the quality of the fish. In the summer you can go trolling for salmon. If you are interested in trophy fishing, Hitra holds several world records in Lange fishing. Best times to catch a big Lange is in the winter or spring.

We offer deep sea fishing tours with guides in and around the waters of Hitra and Frøya. The weather and season determine where and what you’ll fish. When fishing with a local guide you have a bigger chance at catching fish, and you are in safe hands when it comes to navigating challenging waters. New to angling? Our guides will teach you basic angling skills.
