The most common freshwater fish in Iceland is the good old brown trout. If you see a lake in Iceland you can be pretty sure that a few brownies reside under surface.

But not all brown trout are created equal. In a few lakes in the country the trout can grow up to enormous sizes and one of lake that has the most monster sized fish caught each year is Lake Þingvallavatn.

We have access to one of the best beats in the lake for the chance to catch the big ones.
