The small Hallá River falls in to the Bay of Húnaflói in the North of Iceland. It is a sensitive and small river, where one can be totally on his own.
Hallá is 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.
Hallá is a river fished with only two rods, but guests have about 10 km of river to fish. In order to preserve the salmon in Hallá river, the farmers have kept the river closed for several years.
The average catch per season last five years is a little under onehundred salmon.
Catch and release is encouraged in this small and gin- clear river to preserve the enigmatic Salmon that run in Hallá River. The river has a self- catering guesthouse, located about 3km upstream from the mouth of the river, with a view towards the Bay.
