What type of rod and reel were you guys using??... I'm looking for a beefier jigging rod. Nice catch and release! :)

Best technique-Once you start jigging try different jigging rhythms until one works. Start with a 1-2 foot lift and fall rhythm. Then let the lure settle and remain still for about 20 seconds in between the lift/fall rhythm. Vary the speed and the length of the 'jig' rhythm to try to find one that works. Sometimes when nothing seems to work try 'thrumming'. This is the process of rapidly 'wiggling' the rod tip so that the lure quickly jigs up and down within a 1-3 inch vertical movement.

I the first shot of the guy by the fire with deep snow and birch trees reminds me of when I was a kid ice fishing in northern Michigan. It looks the same. My feet would get cold and I'd hold my boots to the fire and the bottoms would melt. :) My mom didn't like that.

that's big, I don't catch that big ones here, but I don't visit real big waters, as I got no boat. Here I catch like 70cm average, some bigger, some smaller. But Sweden, Finland and Norway are very interesting, and I really want to fish there at least once in my life! :-)

Sorry for removing your comment, I didn't mean to. We have some good pike water here too. Bart from Holland were fishing here and in 2 days we did catch 5 pike over 100 cm. The biggest one was 117 cm.

I hope that you will have a nice trip to Sweden.

Yes, we eat salmon and trout. But I think that you only should keep what you're going to eat that day. We catch a lot of salmon and sea trouts every year, most of the times that we're fishing and guiding. This means that most of the fish will be returned to the water. In this way you will ensure that that generation after you also will be able to fish for salmon and sea trout.

Sweden*. I went fishing in Sweden in 2006 during Summer and I caught a really nice Pike (Gadda). We went fishing in this man's lake (He is the tour guide that we will travel with on sleighs) and he said to me "Cast over there!". I did what he said and I caught the Pike/Gadda! He is an awesome guy.

In a couple of years I'm going to Seweden in Winter and a guide (Like the Swedish Steve Irwin (R.I.P Steve)) is going to take us on a three day journey. We will travel in sleighs with deers pulling them and we'll go fishing. It will be heaps of fun.
