Nearly 400 children and young people took part this year. <\/h4>\n

Over the years, the angling competition for the summer courses of the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur at Flensborg Harbour has become a competition that no one aged 6-12 wants to miss. Nearly 400 children and young people took part in this year's fishing competition, and it's safe to say that the level of excitement was high, anticipation was great, and the atmosphere was both lively and fun. Prizes were awarded for the most fish, the biggest fish, and the weirdest fish of 2022. Among the fine fish caught this year were cod, whiting, haddock and dab. A greater catch was landed this year than in previous years, but for the first time this year, octopus was offered as bait, and this seemed to be successful. <\/p>\n

One of the country's largest pike fishing competitions<\/h4>\n

The City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur has been organising a pike fishing competition at Flensborg Harbour since 1990, and it has now become one of the largest fishing competitions in the country. Many hundreds of children and young people eagerly await the event each year to cast their lines and try their luck at fishing in the beautiful setting of Flensborg Harbour. Participants include those from the town's summer courses, as well as a growing number who take part with their parents and guardians, as pike fishing is popular in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. <\/p>\n

A tradition has developed of rewarding young hunters for their catch and success in three categories. This year, the prizes were a trophy and a fishing rod to encourage continued hunting and interest. <\/p>\n

The 11-year-old \u00d3mar Hugi Hj\u00e1lmarsson won the prize for the biggest fish, a cod weighing 359g. Emil Sn\u00e6r \u00c1g\u00fastsson won the prize for the odd fish of the year, which turned out to be a colourful sea urchin, and \u00deorri Strand Barkarson for catching the most fish in this year's competition. He landed four fish, and close behind him was Karitas \u00d3sk J\u00f3nasard\u00f3ttir with three. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
