Pike fishing

The Åland pike fishing grounds, with all their shores, islands, bays, reefs and reed bays, are perfect for pikes. If you are out after that old pike, the best time for pike fishing in Åland is in April-May and early autumn, before the first ice settles.
The chances for catching pike are especially good in autumn and that is when they are feisty! At this time of the year they also spend time in more shallow waters.
Catching pike
The pike is a predator that eats all it can catch. This makes for many possible methods to catch them. Most common are spinning, wobblers, spoon baits and jigs.
But jerk fishing and fly fishing are two other popular and effective options. Sometimes the jerk bait's movement seems irresistible to the pike, other times a well-placed fly by a reed bay is more effective.
