So even in bad weather you can almost always fish here. Besides the Straumen itself there are many different spots where you can go fishing. There are also many large fish that are caught here from the shore. In winter, this is a popular destination among anglers where large young cod up to 15 (!) pounds are caught from the shore. This is a very varied and also challenging location where you can bring and use all your rods and you will certainly not get bored.
