Fishing in Lake Mjøsa

Mjøsa is known as one of Norway's best fishing lakes, and from Evjua Strandpark you have easy access to unforgettable fishing experiences. Try your luck from land, the pier, or a boat – which you can both rent and launch with us. With 20 species of fish in Mjøsa, the chances are high of catching large trout, perch, pike, roach, grayling or one of the other exciting fish species. In the Panorama Cabins you can fish from your private swimming and sunbathing platform that is attached to the cabin during the summer months!

The lake trout in particular is known for its impressive size, which can exceed 15 kilos, and is a dream for most anglers. Trout fishing takes place year-round, either from land, boat or on the ice in winter. Throughout the summer and into the autumn, pike fishing becomes popular, and perch and roach also offer good fishing opportunities.

The trout spawn in the tributaries of Mjøsa and grow large in the lake. Here we can recommend the Lena River that flows through Skreia (8 minutes by car from Evjua, NB a fishing license is required here). Although the really big fish are rare, the chance of landing a fish over ten kilos is certainly present. What is perhaps most impressive about Mjøsa is the amount of quality fish - an experience that makes the lake a paradise for both hobby and sport fishermen of all ages!
