sweden fishing and birding

Footage of a typical 20 lb pike we catch near Umea in Northern Sweden.

Here in Northern Sweden the pike feed voraciously from mid August and through September in preparation for the coming winter.

During this time the fishing is fast and furious.

Here is some footage I took out on the boat of a typical 20lb fish I caught recently.

Short 2.5 hr sessions have been producing three fish per angler around this size! The fish are measuring in the 95cm to 105cm range.

We hope to get two more weekends out on the boat, before storing it ready to start again in Spring 2020. Mid October can bring sleet, snow and over night frosts.

I love Sweden. Fishing and bird watching connect me to the outdoors. I worked in wildlife conservation in the UK for 17 years with the British Government. I currently work at a Swedish University specialising in species conservation, forestry and atmospheric research. I live and work in Sweden alongside unique and rare wildlife. Northern Sweden is the last great wilderness in Europe.
