Calling all young fishing enthusiasts! The Hengelwedstrijd at the Hillegom Najaarsfeesten 2024 is the perfect opportunity for boys and girls aged 4 to 12 to showcase their fishing skills in a friendly competition. Held on Saturday, 14 September, this event invites participants to cast their lines at Valckslootlaan for a chance to win exciting prizes. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to the sport, this fishing contest promises a day full of fun and excitement by the water.

Event Details: Time, Location, and Competition Format

The Hengelwedstrijd begins at 13:00 PM at Valckslootlaan, with registration opening from 13:30 PM. Participants will compete to see who can catch the longest fish, with trophies awarded to the top three winners. Additionally, there’s a special prize for the angler who reels in the largest fish during the event.

Each participant will fish according to a length-based scoring system, meaning that the overall length of the fish caught determines the winner.

It’s an exciting opportunity for young anglers to showcase their skills and enjoy a wonderful day outdoors!

Arrive Early for Registration: Ensure you arrive on time to register with the wedstrijdleiding (competition organizers) before the event starts. Arriving early will allow you to pick the best spot along the bank for casting your line.
Bring the Right Equipment: Although the event is aimed at kids, it’s important to bring a well-prepared fishing kit. A simple rod and reel setup, along with the right bait, will give you a better chance of catching some impressive fish.
Stay Safe by the Water: Since fishing takes place by the water’s edge, make sure to follow safety guidelines. Always stay with your parents or guardians and be cautious while moving around the bank.
Keep Hydrated and Comfortable: Fishing can be a relaxing but long activity, so remember to bring along a water bottle and some snacks to keep you energized throughout the event.
Enjoy the Day: Above all, remember that this competition is about having fun! Whether or not you win a trophy, every participant will leave with a kermis ticket, so enjoy the experience with your fellow anglers and make the most of this day.
