Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.

Fishing Jekejaure

Jekejaure holds 9 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and elritsa, whitefish and stensimpa schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Jekejaure is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
