Fishing

Trout and Atlantic salmon populate the countless brooks and lakes of the area and draw anglers from around the globe.

Take a guided salmon fishing excursion, or head out on the ocean to try your hand at cod fishing. You can get a sense of the hardships faced by the generations that have spent their lives on the sea as part of this centuries-old calling.

Atlantic salmon are legendary, and these rivers wait to help you earn the bragging rights of bringing one ashore.
