The 2015 World Championships will be hosted in Viljandi, an ancient hilly city in South Estonia topped by impressive ruins of a once-powerful Livonian Order castle. Cobbled streets, ancient oak trees and a beautiful lake conjure up a very special atmosphere.

The lake Viljandi lies in the deep primeval valley of Viljandi, depth 11 m, length 4.6 km, width 450 m. The main fish in the lake are bream, roach, perch and pike.

Only 1 small area of the lake will be prohibited for fishing activity – the narrow neck which connects the northern and southern parts of the lake.

The organization will provide you a detailedmap.

During these 8th World Championships, the following fish species will be counted:
· Pike 45 cm
· Sander 46 cm
· Perch 20 cm
