Pike are common in Trust waters. All canals, reservoirs and rivers will contain some pike.
South Sweden offers various opportunities for pike fishing: from smaller, shallow and turbid lakes to huge, deep and very clear lakes like Vättern. Fishing methods vary depending on the type of lake and range from pelagic vertical jigging for pike, spin- and jerkbait- fishing to trolling. The best period for pike fishing in Smaland begins in mid October and continuous through November until the ice hits and we switch to ice fishing.
- Spinn Fishing for Pike in Sweden
The pre-spawning pike fishing in open water in early spring is usually difficult, but also very rewarding as the weight of the pike peaks during this period. A few weeks after spawning in April, the pike start feeding aggressively and are easy to catch until the water hits summer temperatures in June and the big specimens move into deeper open water. During summer we therefore offer pelagic vertical jigging for pike directly targeting big open water pike. In fall and spring we mainly focus on spin fishing.

Boat: Alumacraft by WestGear AB
Posted by Fishing in Sweden on Sunday, August 21, 2016
Lures: Big non action soft lures, 8-10 inch with a 3/0 treble hook. We mainly use the Westin Fishing Mega Teez on a 40 gr jighead. A good alternative could be a modified 25cm Westin Fishing HypoTeez or Westin ShadTeez.
Leader: Between the lure and the main line we suggest to use a 1,0m long titanium leader.
Line: We use 0,22 braided line.
Rod: A powerful vertical rod with sufficient back bone is recommended. We use the Westin W4 Vertical Jigging-T QL 6’2″ XXH 35-64 gr made for this style of fishing.
Reel: For dropping the lure in a controlled way, a small – medium sized baitcaster reel is the best choice. Any small baitcaster with a good break will do the job, we mainly use the Quantum Exo 201. Spinning reels are not an option!

We have some exciting news!
We are introducing a new special kind of fish, and a new special way to unlock them. The first one of it’s kind is a fish called Loof Lirpa, which is the fish in this picture, a rare tropical hybrid.
There are many fish in Fishao that are hard to catch. This fish has actually been in the game for some time, however, so far no one has caught the Loof Lirpa. It’s a “hidden fish”, which is an old idea we had, but didn’t implement until about a month ago. Hidden fish means that it will become unlocked for you if you perform a certain task. But there will be no notification for the unlocking and you will not see it in your Fishdex until you catch it. That is why we call it “Hidden”. We got inspiration for the idea from the way you access Lost Valley. If people like this idea we will introduce more of them.
Since it’s the first hidden fish, we will tell you how to catch it.
Fishao Pike City
This is how you catch it: At Pinheira Beach there is a fish market. You must run around the Fish Market building 5 times, starting and ending at the door. This unlock lasts for 10 minutes. So you will have 10 minutes to fish for it. After the 10 minutes you can simply run around the building another 5 times to unlock it for 10 more minutes. It doesn’t matter in which direction you circle the building. You just need to pass all corners of the building. Remember to check the time so you know when to renew the unlock.
You can only catch it at Pinheira Beach. This fish is always active, but you have to figure out the bait for yourself 🙂
