Nearly 500 children and young people aged 6-12 took part in a fishing competition at Flensborg Harbour in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. The municipality of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur has been organising this competition for decades, and interest and participation have grown year on year. The competition has now become one of the largest fishing competitions in the country, and hundreds of children eagerly await each year to cast their lines and try to catch the most unusual fish, the biggest fish, and the most fish.<\/p>\n

Three young anglers received awards for the catch of the day and the best performance, and headed home after the competition with a fishing rod and a trophy. The eight-year-old, P\u00e9tur R\u00fanar P\u00e9tursson, received a prize for the biggest fish, a cod weighing 320g. Brynjar \u00c1rni Eir\u00edksson received a prize for the odd fish of the year, which turned out to be a sea squirt, and Stef\u00e1n K\u00e1ri Stef\u00e1nsson for catching the most fish in this year's competition. <\/p>\n

The variety of fish caught was a feature of this year's competition, and among the beautiful fish caught in the harbour were flounder, sea bream, cod, jellyfish and starfish. Participants in the pike-fishing competition were both in the area on behalf of the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's summer leisure activities, and there is also a growing group who turn up to take part with their parents and guardians, as pike fishing is popular in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. Guides from the summer leisure programme, along with staff from the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work Club, provided robust supervision at the harbour during the competition, while the sailing club \u00deytur provided cover from the sea. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
