Per la pesca in mare, sia da riva che dalla barca non serve alcun tipo di licenza. Se si noleggia una imbarcazione è meglio stipulare una piccola assicurazione contro eventuali danni all'imbarcazione e danni contro terzi. Solitamente il gestore delle imbarcazioni la propone come facoltativa o la impone come obbligatoria all'atto del noleggio.
Per quanto rigurda l'acqua dolce bisogna pagare una licenza governativa che consente di poter pescare in tutto il paese sia in fiumi dove ci sono salmoni e non. Questa licenza puo' essere fatta presso gli uffici postali, le stazioni di servizio o online su Internet che è la soluzione migliore. Si puo' fare direttamente con la Inatur (http://www.inatur.no/o2/Shop-FishTax/?forceLocale=en_US ) che fortunatamente ha recentemente messo a disposizione anche una pagina in inglese dove poter inserire i propri dati e successivamente pagare.
Per quanto rigurda la pesca al salmone in particolari fiumi bisogna poi pagare una altra licenza ai gestori delle varie acque o associazioni di pescatori che le controllano. Questo tipo di licenza puo' essere tranquillamente fatta in loco solitamente grazie all'hotel dove alloggiamo o alla organizzazione che ci ha eventualmente organizzato il nostro viaggio per la pesca al salmone.

Fishing Licenses in Norway
To fish in Norway
To fish in rivers or lakes for Salmon, Sea Trout, or migratory Char, you need both a license from the state (the fiskeravgift) and one applicable to the individual body of water. You can buy the state license at any Norwegian post office, or online at Inatur. The cost is around 230 NOK (Norwegian Kroner), about 30 EURO dollars at today's exchange rates.
Licenses to fish in specific bodies of water are sold by private property owners, or by the state for waters within state lands. There are a huge number of different license areas and sellers. While some fishing licenses cover numerous bodies of water under a single license, others cover only a single section of an individual river, sometimes just one beat on the river. Unfortunately, this can make researching where and how to buy licenses a challenge. A single river can have a dozen different license areas and sellers.
The cost of licenses for a specific body of water vary greatly depending on the specific river and beat on the river. Salmon fishing licenses ranged from 200 to 350 NOK (about 30-50 Euros) per day depending on the river I fished. Daily costs for Trout fishing licenses will generally be lower.
A number of Salmon and Sea Trout rivers have beats for which you can buy licenses on the Inatur website. This includes for example beats on the Målselv, Orkla, Driva, Namsen, and Gaula rivers. They also sell licenses for trout fishing and other types of fishing. To date Inatur is the best online resource r purchasing Norwegian fishing licenses.
Reporting your catch
When you buy a license for a particular area, you are required to report your catch to the owner. This is required by the state and allows the annual catch statistics to be produced. In my experience the license itself has had a spot to enter your catch information, and then you can drop it in a drop box provided by the landowner.
Disinfection
In addition to the right licenses, freshwater fishing in Norway Norway Norway
Treatment of affected rivers can be even more devastating than the parasite itself in the short term — a substance commonly used for its treatment, Rotenone, can kill every fish in a river system. The sight of a flood of dead Salmon flowing down a cherished river can bring a Norwegian to tears, both from the sight itself and from the prospect of many years of anxious waiting for the river to recover. It takes a long time for Salmon to be successfully reintroduced and a sustained, healthy population established again.
Disinfection is not so burdensome for a fisherman, because the necessary disinfection gear is available at the same locations where you purchase a license to fish in specific waters. This involves a liquid sprayed on rods, reels, line, or other gear that have been fished with in other waterways. You wait for this liquid to dry, then you are ready to fish. A fee beyond the license's cost may apply to have your gear disinfected, but it is not a major cost.
While Salmon are seriously affected by this parasite, Sea Trout are not harmed by it. The reduction of Salmon populations in some of these rivers has resulted in a boom in Sea Trout populations in some rivers.
