Recent Catches This was a big fish week for some anglers on Deeside this week with my nomination for an Oscar going to Jamie Hammond for his tremendous effort in catching two salmon in excess of 20lbs, more of this later. FishDee beats reported 65 Salmon for the week with Lower Crathes once again finishing the week with the highest …
Lower Crathes with 16 salmon last week

According to River Dee weekly newsletter the conditions look ideal for anglers fishing the River Dee this week with a very favourable weather forecast allied to high spring tides which should …
Fishing in Greenland
Greenland is the wildest place on earth for char fishing. This is the biggest island in the world, and in fact one of biggest countries as well. Greenland is inhabited with only 55.000 people, sharing thousands of rivers and lakes, full of Arctic Char. This means that many of those fishing areas are hardly fished at all, some rivers have not seen …
Many come to Iceland for its great Salmon Fishing
And for good reason. But Iceland also boasts some of the best Brown Trout, Sea Trout and Arctic Char fishing on Earth. And it is easy to fish all on the same trip. In fact, it is only 5 hours door to door and you can be fishing the same day you arrive. And while Iceland is a relatively small …
Galtalaekur – big brownies
Galtalaekur is a tributary to West Ranga, a short river with 20 pools, it only holds 2 rods but has plenty of big brown trout. The size of the trout ranges from 1 to 15 pounds and you can at least bank on seeing such monsters – even though catching them can be more difficult. It’s a small, sensitive and …
Tungufljot
Tungufljot was, like many other rivers, very strange this summer. Every time it seemed as if the fishing was picking up, we know of at least 1 rod that caught 13 salmon in one afternoon, it slowed down again very shortly. We don’t know why this was, this river has been very good since 2008, but we do know that …
One of the best Trout rivers in Iceland
Is our very own Litlaa (literally translated: Little river) in the north-eastern part of Iceland. As the name indicates, it’s not a big river – but it’s not a creek either, it holds 5 rods comfortably and anglers can choose between full board and self catering accommodation. The river offers all species of Icelandic freshwater sport fish; brown trout, sea …
Langadalsa – a gem of a river
Langadalsa in the westfjords of Iceland is a very interesting self-catering option. It is an ideal choice for a small group of friends wishing to have sole use of a river and the self-catering lodge for a few days. It is a perfect haven of peace and quiet which makes it one of our most sought after rivers. The average …
West Ranga in late July
Late July (from July 20th and onwards) is a very good time in West Ranga; we’ve seen daily catches go up to and above 100 salmon. But on an average day in an average year (if there is such a thing), daily catches are between 60 and 80 salmon, 3 – 4 salmon per rod. Late July is the height …
Svarta river 2011 report
Svarta is one of our finest fly-only rivers with a very comfortable lodge and crystal clear waters. Nestled nicely in the middle of the big salmon territory in the north western part of the island, this river boasts of a very high 2 winter salmon / grilse ratio – often around 40%. When Lax-a took charge of the river several …
