Spildra, situated in the heart of Norway's Kvænangenfjord, offers world-class saltwater fishing framed by dramatic Arctic landscapes. Centrally positioned among islands where the Lyngenfjord, Kvaenangenfjord, and Reisafjord converge, this destination creates nutrient-rich currents that attract exceptional marine life. Anglers target trophy halibut, with peak seasons in May-July and autumn, alongside consistent cod and coalfish action. The area's varied subsea structures and deep fjords also yield prolific wolffish catches from April through June.
Beyond halibut, Spildra's waters teem with cod exceeding 20kg, coalfish nearing 16kg, and seasonal mackerel migrations. The island's strategic location places anglers minutes from productive inshore reefs and offshore grounds where triple halibut hookups occasionally occur. Winter transforms the fjord into a prime ice-fishing destination for cod, while summer provides 24-hour daylight fishing under the midnight sun. Wildlife sightings—from orcas trailing herring to coastal bird colonies—enhance the adventure between catches.
Accessible by boat from Skjervøy, Spildra combines remote wilderness with well-equipped fishing camps offering boat rentals and guided expertise. Its unique intersection of fjords creates an ecosystem where record pollock, haddock, and plaice complement the flagship species. Whether targeting halibut in deep channels or jigging for cod near coastal drop-offs, Spildra delivers Norway's most diverse Arctic saltwater fishery.
