Our boys were thrilled they could fish as soon as we got to Laerdal. Immediately, they were able to go fish on the fjord. They started off their fishing adventure by walking through the cold water of the fjord on a narrow rock bar. They had no luck in the shallow water. We found a little inlet in the fjord where the water was calmer, deeper and closer to shore. Here using only rooster tail lures both Goalielocks and the Mayor were able to catch their first sea trout.
The Mayor’s was too small to keep, but Goalielocks’ fish was large enough to keep and also didn’t survive its re-entry to the water. Since we had a nice fresh catch from the fjord, we cooked it up for dinner along with Norwegian meatballs with kjottkakesaus, jasmine rice, and corn.
My hats of to my hubby the chef as the meal was more than edible, it was delicious. We bribed Goalielocks and the Mayor since they are picky eaters. We bribed them with the promise of an after dinner fishing session. Dinner went well and they were quickly back on the fjord fishing. What’s cool here in Norway is that fishing on the fjord is free. If we wanted to fish the rivers for salmon or trout, we would have to get a special license from the government and potentially from the owner of that particular section of river.
While the younger two and dad fished, Jake and I explored the town on foot. We enjoyed a beautiful walk near the fjord and down the Laerdal River, where we’re hoping to run sometime tomorrow.
