The Best Salmon Fishing in Norway -- Our favorite place in all of Norway for an angling holiday is Alta, where the cold, pure Norten rivers in Finnmark nurture some of the "fightingest" brown trout in Europe and where you can battle with Atlantic salmon. The leading outfitter for fishermen in Finnmark is AKU, Storengveien 26 (tel. 78-43-48-40; www.aku-finnmark.no), in business since the 1980s. The company also offers deep-sea fishing along the coast of Finnmark, where fishermen pursue cod, coalfish, and even gigantic Atlantic halibut, among other species. Canoeing expeditions can be combined with both fishing and wildlife viewing.
