Tides and currents

Official Kartverket data shows the current sea level, whether the tide is rising or falling, the next high and low tides, and peak current — often a productive window for fjord fishing.

⏱

Conditions right now

Near-real-time radar and weather data: air temperature, wind and gusts, Beaufort force, pressure trend and precipitation rate.

🌊

Sea and wave conditions

Water temperature, wave height, period and direction, plus current speed from MET Norway's ocean forecast.

🗺️

Map and nautical charts

Kartverket topographic and nautical charts with depth soundings. Tap to pick a point, mark places by type and see your catches right on the map.

🐟

Catch log

Log catches with species, size, weight, time and photos. The “Me” section keeps stats, filters and your full history — and helps refine the forecast.

🔄

Optional account

Everything works without registration. With an account, your spots, catches and photos sync across phone, browser and the bot — sign in with Telegram, Google or email.

📍

Four ways to choose a location

Share your location in one tap, choose from eight Norwegian presets (Lofoten, Tromsø, Ålesund, Bergen, Bodø, Hitra, Sørøya and Langesund), enter coordinates or select a saved spot. Sunrise, sunset, moon phase, polar day and polar night are all shown in local time.

How the score works

More than a weather forecast — a model built for fishing

Seven weighted signals combine tide, current, weather, light and lunar conditions in a single score.

Cloud cover

The model favours the middle of the tidal cycle, when the water is moving, rather than high or low tide itself. It also uses pressure history from the Frost API, solunar periods based on the Moon's position, dynamic weighting and a safety override for hazardous wind or waves.

Privacy and safety

Minimal data — and full control over what's yours

✓

Registration is optional

The bot and the web version work without registration. To run the chat, the bot receives your Telegram account ID, name and username; it does not ask for your phone number or payment details. You can optionally create an account to sync across devices — it doesn't require a phone number either.

✓

Your spots and catches, your call

Coordinates, saved spots and catch entries are used for the forecast and your own log. They are saved only when you choose to — and you can rename or delete them at any time.

✓

No advertising trackers

Your data is not sold or used for targeted advertising, and the landing page contains no advertising trackers.

✓

Official data sources

Forecasts use data from the official Norwegian services MET Norway and Kartverket, with source attribution and the CC BY 4.0 licence stated clearly.

✓

Only the data the service needs

The service stores only what's needed for spots, the catch log and morning updates. Your email is used to sign in and to reply to messages; photos are stored to show your catches.

✓

No unnecessary permissions

No background permissions: the bot runs in Telegram and the web version in your browser. You add catch photos yourself via a file picker — the app does not scan your gallery.

✓

Account control

Sign in with Telegram, Google or email. You can see active sessions, sign out other devices, download your data or delete your account along with everything in it.

Data sources

Official data, straight from the source

Forecasts are built with data from Norway's meteorological and hydrographic services, available to you free of charge.

Getting started

Your forecast in three steps

01

Open the bot in Telegram

If you already use Telegram, there is no separate app to install or new account to create. Tap Start to begin.

02

Choose a fishing spot

Share your location, choose a preset or enter coordinates. Save the spot if you want to use it again.

03

Check the forecast

See the 0–10 bite score, best fishing windows, tides and weather. Enable morning updates to receive the forecast automatically.

Coordinates

How to find and send coordinates

In the app it's easiest: open the Map tab and tap the spot — no coordinates needed. For the Telegram bot, use this method: pick the spot on a map, copy its latitude and longitude, and send both numbers in one line.

Format accepted by the bot
62.907721735173475, 6.9154728817510485

Latitude comes first, followed by longitude. Use a decimal point inside each number and a comma between the two numbers.

🖥️

Google Maps on a computer

  1. Open Google Maps in your browser and find your fishing spot.
  2. Right-click the exact point on the map.
  3. The coordinates appear at the top of the menu. Click them to copy both numbers.
  4. Paste the line into your chat with the bot and send it.
📱

Google Maps on iPhone or Android

  1. Open the Google Maps app and find the area you need.
  2. Touch and hold the exact point until a red pin appears.
  3. Open the place card at the bottom of the screen, find the coordinates and copy them.
  4. Paste them into Telegram, check the format and send them to the bot.
🗺️

Other map apps

  1. Find the spot and drop a pin with a long press or click.
  2. Open the pin details and look for Coordinates, GPS, or Latitude / Longitude.
  3. Copy the two numbers. If the app only provides a link, open the same point in Google Maps and copy the coordinates there.
  4. The bot needs the two numbers themselves, not a street address or a link to the map.
⚠️

If the coordinates are copied with brackets

Google Maps on iPhone or another map app may paste coordinates inside round brackets. Delete only the opening and closing brackets. Keep the numbers, minus signs, decimal points and comma unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

Everything to know before you start

Quick answers about pricing, coverage, data and the bot's features.

Is the bot free?
Yes, completely. All current Norway Fishing Bot features are free to use.
Which parts of Norway are covered?
The bot covers marine waters along the Norwegian coast, including saltwater fjords. The exact set of marine data can vary by location; if one source is unavailable, the model redistributes that factor's weight across the remaining data.
Does it work for freshwater fishing?
No. The model is designed for sea fishing, including fishing in saltwater fjords. Tides and ocean currents are important parts of the calculation.
How often is the data updated?
The forecast is recalculated every time you request it. To respect official API limits, source data is cached briefly: tides for 10 minutes, and weather and pressure observations typically for up to 30 minutes.
What does the 0–10 bite score mean?
It is a heuristic estimate of conditions for fish activity. The bot combines seven weighted factors: pressure, tide, current, wind, light, solunar periods and sky conditions. 0–2.9 is poor, 3–4.9 below average, 5–6.4 moderate, 6.5–7.9 good, and 8–10 very favourable.
Can I delete saved spots?
Yes. You can add, rename and delete spots at any time from the saved locations menu.
What if my coordinates are not accepted?
Check the format: 62.907721735173475, 6.9154728817510485. Latitude must come first, followed by longitude; use decimal points inside the numbers and a comma between them. If your map app added round brackets, remove only the brackets.
Which languages does the bot support?
The Telegram bot and its forecasts are currently in Russian. The web app — with the same forecast — and this page are available in Norwegian, English, Russian and Ukrainian.
Do I need to register?
No. The bot and the web version work without registration — spots and catches are stored on your device. An account is optional: it syncs your spots, catches and photos across phone, browser and the bot. You can sign in with Telegram, Google or email.
Does a high score guarantee a good catch?
No. The score is a guide based on weather, water and solunar factors, not a guarantee. Species, tackle, depth and local conditions also affect the result.
