Pike fishing in Lapland is not just about breaking your records – it’s about experiencing pike fishing in the most beautiful and extraordinary circumstances in the whole world. It’s about fishing in the midnight, when the sun is shining above the lake, and makes you totally forget the concept of time. It’s about visiting the last wilderness of the Europe, about experiencing the nature so thoroughly, that you forget the society and your daily life completely.

However, if you indeed are looking to catch your record pike – Lapland is possibly the best place in Europe to do just that. For an unknown reason, pike grows extremely large in Lapland, despite of the short summer season and long dark winter. Lapland holds innumerable lakes and rivers where +120cm pikes swim in numbers.

Possibly the best testimonial to the pike fisheries in Finnish Lapland is that the pike fishing reality TV series FLY VS JERK has been won there now two years in the row, with pikes of 13,88kg in 2019 and 11,95kg in 2020. However, the waters fished by teams CWC and Vision in the competition represent only the tip of the iceberg – with tens of thousands of lakes, Lapland probably holds hundreds of just as good or even better waters. As a professional pike fishing guide, my job is to take you there.
