Miekojärvi is the largest lake in the province of Norrbotten, located on the municipal border between Överkalix and Övertorneå.
.
The lake currently holds a population of very large Pike and good fishing for zander for fish around a kilo. Perch is also abundant.
The short-range fishing area includes the largest part of the lake, Miekojärvi's Skifteslag and Svea Skogs water, about 1300ha in total. NOTE! The water area in Övertorneå municipality is not included, (2 different skifteslag), see map markings for further information.
The lake has two larger inflows and an outlet that forms the Sangis River further down. The lake lies almost in a north-south direction and is a total of 16 km long. The village itself is located mostly on a long, narrow peninsula and island out in the middle of the lake. There were several settlements around the lake as late as the 1940s.
There is a road from Allsån, 16km, only out to the cape, where there is a boat launch. From Kalix you drive via Kypasjärvi-Svartträsk, from Luleå it is 130km.
The middle part of Miekojärvi (the large lake) has a larger area with a depth of 10-15 meters. There are several areas with shallower areas 4-7 meters with shallow peaks and a rocky bottom, where the perch are on the peaks and the pike perch on the steeps down towards the depth.
The southern part of Miekojärvi (the southern lake) has areas with 3-4 meters and depths of 11 meters.
The northern part (the northern lake) is the shallowest part. Large parts of the area are 3-4 meters and some pits of 7 meters.
The association intends to check the possession of a valid fishing license, with external control personnel, the number of caught PIKES, 3 pcs / per day. And that only sport fishing gear is used and takes place in the licensed area.
