After Easter the thoughts of many turn to summer barbeques and beaches but in the far north west of Finnish Lapland they are experiencing ideal ice fishing conditions. The lakes and rivers are still frozen and there are often long beautiful sunny days.

Between 24 April – 01 May 2009 there are up to two ice fishing events a day in the huge municipality of Enontekiö in Lapland. There is an entry fee of €20 per person per event and this is often shared out between the first, second and third place winners alongside product prize.

The event attracts lots of locals and fisherman from all over the world. There are several children’s competitions and a best women’s prize.
