Ice Fishing & Snowshoeing

GuideGunnar's ice fishing season runs from February to April every winter, once it gets a little warmer and much lighter in Arctic Norway.

Ice Fishing, catch of a trout

Follow GuideGunnar to the island Ringvassøya, where he will equip you with a thermo suit and good boots for a little walk in the snow. You will walk up to a beautiful lake in the midst of the Arctic wilderness. You will receive fishing gear, learn how to use it, and find out how to clean your catch. Try your luck while you take in the gorgeous landscape around you. GuideGunnar will prepare a hot meal on the frozen lake while you are out on the ice.

Backpack & Clothing Advice

  • For your backpack: Pack an extra fleece or jumper / sweater, extra socks, extra gloves, and a bottle of water. Remember a warm jacket for the break!
  • What to wear: long underwear (merino wool), wind- and waterproof jacket and pants, fleece or jumper / sweater, gloves (mitten gloves are best), gaiters, scarves, a knit hat covering your ears, and UV sunglasses
  • Layering is king! Your first layer of clothing, closest to your body, should be wool.
  • Mitten gloves are best! They keep your fingers warm when you take pictures, so wear finger gloves under and mittens on top.
