It's time to start planning for pike fishing in Sweden, Lapland Pike 2021! The new Lapland Pike website offers a lot of information about pike fishing in Lapland, and, of course, details on registering for the Lapland Pike 2021 competition! Because we lost a year, 2020, we plan to have twice as much fun with this new edition.
About Lapland Pike
Is it a competition? Well, yes, but we like it more as a reason for lectures, fishing workshops, social gatherings, traditional cuisine and entertainment. Mix all these ingredients with pike fishing in the Catch & Release system and we have a complete fishing festival. Lapland Pike is an international competition designed to give maximum freedom to competitors on a huge fishing area in northern Sweden.
Competition rules
Scoring pike: Minimum size 70 cm
Result: The sum of the centimeters of the 5 largest pike caught
Teams: Maximum two competitors in the team. Kayak teams can consist of two kayaks or two competitors in a tandem kayak.
Team responsibility: Each team will use a smartphone to photograph their catches on the measuring plates provided by the organizers. The photos will be transmitted in real time in a web-based reporting system, friendly to mobile devices, for data collection in order to compile the ranking.
Fishing methods:
Spinning or fly fishing
