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 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 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 …

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 …

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 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 …

Blanda did not disappoint her fans this summer, for the third year in a row she gave up more than 2.000 salmon – with the majority of the salmon being caught on only 4 rods in beat 1. Blanda is our first salmon river to open up, on June 5th, and is usually only fished until mid-August. The fact that …

Hallá is a small and sensitive 2 rod river in Northwest of Iceland. The Hallá River is 10km long and fast flowing and rocky in the lower part, but the upper reaches are mostly slow flowing with cut-bank pools, ideal for fly- fishing with light tackle. It is the perfect places were the angler can be totally alone. Average catch …
