Dear Arni I can't thank you enough for allowing me to fish the Yokanga. I have sent all my pictures to Valgedur for your records. One week on the lower Yokanga you get a trip of a lifetime. Huge river, Huge Fish and a huge amount of walking. I have lost 3 Kg in the week and feel fit as a fiddle. I know I have found Paradise. Although it's a tough river and you have to be fit, it's a spectacular river and the fishing is amazing. I will never forget when we had 60 lbs of fish combined on our...
Hi Harpa,
As our upcoming trip to Iceland at the end of August draws near, I want to make sure that you and Elfa, along with the rest of the staff at Angling Club Lax-a, know how much we appreciate all of your time and help with the planning for our trips to both Iceland and Russia. Every trip that we have made with your help has been a wonderful adventure from start to finish.
Dear Lax-á, thank you so much for planning the best fishing tour of our lifes in East Rangá last year. It was absolutly fantastic. The guides we had were outstanding and went all the way in making our tour memorable. They helped with choosing the flies, finding the hotspots and directed us on how and where to cast.
The food and the lodge staff were also great. We really like the lodge as well. Very cosy and a great location.
30 salmon between the two of us. Not bad!
I can not wait...
Having utilized many of the sporting travel agencies of the world I can honestly say that the Angling Club Lax-A ranks with the very best. Their representations as to what the travelling sportsman will find are accurate and honest. Their greeters at foreign airports where English is not the predominant language are professional and experienced and are always punctual. I can’t recommend the Angling Club Lax-A too highly. Sincerely, RICHARD J. SHACKLETON
Most success stories have humble beginnings. Lax-á is no exception. "It all started with a very young man and his rod. Together they travelled around Iceland "trying out" some of the best rivers of the country. The annoying fact that a fishing license was usually needed was not always apparent but the thought started to develop later in life as the young man matured. This young man is today one of the world´s finest fishing and hunting purveyors and has built his vast fishing empire...
Eleven years ago, I entered in a nice restaurant in down-town Milan, and with much of surprise I noted on the walls, many oil paints representing fly fishing scene in a very peculiar natural setting. When I asked the waiter, he explains that the painter was the owner, a very passionate fly-fisherman, and that the peculiar land was Iceland. A week later I was seat with Giovanni Leombianchi in his studio in Milan, to listen fantastic stories about Salmon fly-fishing in Iceland, in small intimate...
I have fished with Lax-a several times now and they are a first class organization. They have access to all the best waters, the best guides and the best lodges. I highly recommend Angling Club Lax-a. They go out of there way to ensure you have a great experience Bob Schoeller Erie, Pennsylvania U.S.A.
I have fished with Arni and the Lax-a group for the past 6 years and they have never let me down. Sometimes I fly to Iceland for 10 days with my family and sometime for a day on my way to Europe on business to do just a days fishing and get some Icelandic air. Where else in the world can you catch 5 or 6 Salmon in a day, have great food, intelligent company, and no bugs! If you want to have a first class experience in all ways you will find it here. MvB
Desde niño siempre soñé con pescar salmones en Islandia, consciente de que este tipo de pesca es probablemente el máximo a lo que se puede aspirar en cuanto a salmón atlántico. De la mano de mis amigos Arni Baldurson y Fridrik Stefansson logré hacer realidad mis sueños hacia finales de los años 80. Desde entonces, a pesar de que también he pescado en otras partes del mundo como Kola, Canada, Noruega, etc, he acudido puntualmente a Islandia porque la calidad de la pesca es...
As an old customer I am convinced that LAXA-A offers the best chance for fishing the great rivers of Iceland.

Me and my wife Dilia spent our honey moon in Iceland fishing. I took my first atlantic salmon on the West Ranga under the fall unforghetable. We had fantastic fishing days the accomodation is great. We'll be back surely next year. Baci Alberto Dilia
I have used Lax-a for a number of years now and have found them extremely helpful and efficient in arranging very good salmon fishing and sea trout fishing in Iceland. As a Professional living in London it is always useful to be able to depend on a professional entity such as Lax-a to make all the arrangements for you. I have also been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the fishing and the improvements that have been made in much of the Accommodation that has been provided which all adds...
I have been fishing in Iceland with Laxa-a for about ten years and they have always looked after me very well. The description of the fishing has always been accurate and the Lodges and guides have been excellent, indeed one of my regular guides is now a good friend. Laxa-a organise the visits efficiently and everyone at the office, the drivers, guides and lodge staff go out of their way to make the fishing trip a happy experience. John Garnett, UK
My name is Bob Schoeller and I have fished with Lax-a both in Iceland and in Argentina. I recieved an Email from Arni asking if I would be able to give a recommendation for Lax-a on the Lax-a and Orvis web sites. I certainly would be glad to do this . My experiences with Lax-a have been great and I would be happy to to tell everyone about them. If you just want to add my name and a phone number and E-mail to a list of references thats OK, but I would cerainly be able to write a short...
We were and we are very happy with the whole service from the lax-a team and we are sure that we will coming now for many years, we are really looking forward to the West-Ranga next year and also to go back the River Tweed in Scotland. Take care, Daniel Roser www.roser-swiss.com
I go fishing in Iceland since about 10 years .For the first time in 2004 I used with a group of friends , the services of Lax-a .We were completely satisfied by fishing on one side and the quality of the overall logistic on the other side and we are keen on coming back. Sincerely yours, Jean DOSCH
Dear Arni, I just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks for the great job with our corporate group at East Ranga Lodge. As you know, the group leader was most concerned that this client entertainment trip would be of top notch quality. I'm pleased to report that the lodge, the cuisine, the fishing and particularly the outstanding service provided by the entire Lax-a staff far exceeded his expectations. In short, he was thrilled! Please extend my thanks to Skuli and Asta for their...
I wanted to thank you personally Arni, as well as all of your staff, for how you went out of your way to make my first ( and not last) Salmon trip to Iceland enjoyable. As you know, I took my wife and mother along to see your spectacular country while I fished some of the best Atlantic Salmon rivers on the planet. I liked it so much that I stayed a couple extra days after I sent my family home. The extra days were well worth it as the pictures show. I look forward to many future trips,...
