Pics from Norway

[Karl Inge]

Are there any interest in photos from Norway? Where would be the right place to post them?

[boatboy50]

Hey Karl,

No idea if this is the right section. As long as some pics have water (fishing related) they will be right here.

Lived with a Norweigein for a year, so I am interested to see what all the fuss is about.

Regards

Darren

EDIT- nevermind, I?ll just post a few ans see if you guys like em :)

Hey Karl,

I would defiantly be interested in having a look at your pictures, both fish and nature. I am currently living in France and we are in the process of organizing a trip to north of Norway for next Christmas. We are planning on staying for week and have been told it is a great period to visit, if you can deal with the lack of sunlight during the day!

Cheers

BG

[Karl Inge]

Have to admit, I`d prefer the summertime with the midnight sun :) But the "darkseason" has its own charm :)

[Bubba Gump]

We are looking forward to it!

[Little grey men]

Beautiful shots Karl....Love that starfish:)

[Rocket01]

Are there any interest in photos from Norway? Where would be the right place to post them?Any more fish ones :)

[Karl Inge]

Since you guys are so positive and fond of pictures I feel I can post these pictures without to much shame.... actually its shameless braging :D

Almost all of these fishes are caught within one hour drive from HAugesund. Dont hesitate to ask if you are going to this area and want som help on where to go :addfav:

[Awesome]

Cool pics Karl.
Just wondering how did you find out about Ausfish?

[Karl Inge]

did a search on barramundi :)

[TimiBoy]

Fantastic stuff! We're in Germany for Christmas this year, looked at going to Stockholm, but the wife's relos there say don't, it's grey and slushy. So it's just Germany/France/Austria this trip.

Would love to do Norway one day though. Fascinating country and culture.

[BrandonH]

Great pics mate!! Love the look of the coalfish!!! It reminds me a our Cobia or black kingfish.

Thats a very clear pic of the seagull too!!

Cheers

Very interesting mix of fish there Karl, were you thinking of chasing some barramundi in Australia or just doing a search for interests sake ?

[Karl Inge]

Just curious in general I`d say :)

[Karl Inge]

How about a little snow for you guys, guess you dont see a lot of that down under :)

A beautiful day in march:

Snowy, had to choose a place where the snow had been removed for my car :addfav:

Great picture Karl.

Where and what time of the year was the picture taken?

[Karl Inge]

That picture was taken at lake Skogseid, in february. The sun came through the skies and my camera didnt handle the light very well- and it gave an excellent result :D

[Bubba Gump]

Beautiful, it looks like a scene from 'Lord of the Rings'!

[disorderly]

Some great photo's there Karl....some interesting fish also..
I'm only guessing here but I'd reckon that spearfishing isn't very popular in Norway is it?

Scott

[Karl Inge]

Not sure if its "very" popular but I know several who enjoys fishing/hunting under water :) Norwegians have a close relationship with the ocean, but its a bit cold up here in the winter :)

Norway ha a spectacular underwater scenario-and quite a bit of fish as well :D

[Karl Inge]

Stunning photography yet again Karl. Thank you very much for sharing them with us. You live in a beautiful country.

Cheers

[castlemaine]

Hi Karl
I fished Norge in the mid 1980's. I remember all waterways were owned by the landowners and you had to buy a licence off them.
Caught a few Trout. I remember fishing the fjords around the Black Ice with just a a piece of red plastic tubing but unfortunately caught nothing that day.
You've got a great country and your people are so friendly. Heaps of history and loved every minute I was there.
Cheers 8-)

nice karl.just moved to Norway for a while ,maybe a long while.Any fishing tips around Sandnes area. cheers

[Karl Inge]

Should check out the Norwegian forum at www.fiskersiden.no (http://www.fiskersiden.no) loits of guys from Sandnes/Stavanger area there. Not far from Sandnes there are good turbot fishing on beaches, decent trout fishing and in general god variety of fish-species :)

[Haji-Baba]

Fantastic photos Karl. Spent some time in Sweden a few years back but never saw fish like you are catching.

When we come to your area of the world we can never get over the amount of water in the lakes and streams.

Saw some wonderful fish in Finland too but didn't have time for fishing ourselves.

Did a lot of hunting with excellent results. Deer, Duck, Ripa, and fox.

A truly wonderful part of the world.

Thanks for sharing.


Have Fun Haji-Baba

[Haji-Baba]

Karl, our friends from Sweden arrive here on 13th. February for a visit, hunting fishing and touring.

"Televinkin" do you know him?

Have fun Haji-Baba

Thanks for sharing your wonderful fishing adventure and beautiful scenery of the countryside.

It does bring me back some of my childhood memories.

I also love the photography, very clear and sharp. You must have a had a good camera and good photographer on some of the photoshoots.

Well done, Peter

Hi Karl,

Magnificent photos. I visited Norway a couple of years ago and did a fair bit of sea fishing around Trondheim. What a magnificent country and plenty of fish. I caught cod, saithe, pollock, haddock, whiting and a lone mackerel. I would have liked a sea trout to add to the list. I was there in summer, as an Australian I might suffer in the winter though.

I am hoping to get back to Norway in a few years.
