Iceland is a paradise for trout fishing. In the country you can find several types of arctic char as well as sea run arctic char. The Brown trout also comes in a few different sub species and then there is also the sea run version.

For the arctic char we would recommend river Litlaá and the Ásgarður beat on the river Sogið. Big arctic char can be caught in both rivers. Both rivers also have brown trout as well as the sea run. For sea run arctic char we offer the trout beat in Svartá river and Miðdalsá river.

For the most consistent good fishing for brown trout we would recommend either the Laxa- Myvatnssveit or the Laxardalur beats. They are the same river, a large volume river in the north and considered to be some of the best brown trout waters in the world. We also offer the trout beat in Tungufljot for a more budget price. For the chance of the really huge brown trout you should try Lake Þingvellir in the spring. 10 to 20 pounders are common and the very biggest monsters touch the 30 pound mark.

In Iceland there are also lakes all over the country which hold both brown trout and char. Licenses are usually cheap and can often be purchased at the nearest farm.
