Welcome to a fun winter day in Mathildedal!
The Matilda Villas cottage village is organizing an ice‑fishing competition on Saturday, 7 March 2026 in Mathildedal, Salo.
This event is designed for the whole family and offers something for everyone:
in the competitive series you can compete for great prizes, the relaxed “fun series” is fished in teams with an easygoing spirit, and children have their own playful ice‑fishing contest with guidance provided — and every child receives a prize.
The event is organized in cooperation with professional fishers and follows official rules.
The competition takes place at Lake Matildanjärvi in Teijo National Park.
Catch‑size rainbow trout were stocked into Lake Matildanjärvi in November.
More information about the lake’s fish stock can be found on Natura Viva’s website.
The patron of the event is Saku Nikkanen, Member of Parliament and Chair of the Finnish Recreational Fishing Association.
Guests staying at Matilda Villas during the event weekend can compete for free!
Weekend cottage offer: 6–8 March 2026 from €325 (4 persons). Code: PILKKI

2 × Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5vc fish finder sets,
a Garmin vívomove Trend sports watch,

Competition Series
We will compete in two categories this year:
The official competition series, where individual performance and total catch weight determine the winner.
The more relaxed “Ice Captain Series”, where teams compete together and the main goal is to have fun—often even more than the actual fishing itself.
