It is has long been well known that the West coast of Africa hold the largest tarpon in the world – in countries such as Angola, Gabon, Congo and Sierra Leone, but they have until now by and large only been caught on conventional tackle and a range of security and logistic factors have made access to fishing for them very difficult.

As of yesterday 160 salmon had been landed in the Svartá river, the same time last year Svartá had landed 48 salmon. Keep in mind that last season was the best season in over a decade in Svartá. We are fully expecting Svartá to break it's old record of 619 salmon this summer.
We just had a photo sent from Vididalsá of a monster salmon caught there this morning. Ms. Louise Charlton landed a 106 cm long salmon at 9 am at junction pool in Vididalsá. The salmon was caught on Madeleine 16#, with the assistance of the guide Johann Hafnfjord. According to the VMST 106 cm long salmon is 11,8 kg. harpa@lax-a.is
Here is a picture of a 20 lbs salmon caught by Markus Kemmer in West Ranga when he visited us end of August last year. He is returning this year to catch its brother. The salmon was caught on Beat nr. 1 on a special Sunray, it took about 15 minutes to land. But the catch was a real treat both for Markus and his guide Johannes as you catch many salmon there but there are few big ones.
Laugardalsa in the West Fjords is having an amazing season. This charming little river is already up to around 400 salmon but the average year of Laugardalsá is about 400 salmon and we have whole good month still to fish the river. It will be interesting to see the final number there. harpa@lax-a.is
Trout is one of my specialties. And here at Lax-a, we know how to put you over and onto some of the best trout fishing in the world. From the monstrous Sea Trout of Tierra Del Fuego in far southern Argentina to the just really big Sea Trout of Iceland, to acrobatic Rainbow Trout in Alaska, British Columbia, Argentina and Chile, to deep bellied Dolly Varden in Alaska to hugh fiery red Arctic Char of remote Ungava Bay to Brown Trout lurking in nearly every corner of South America, New Zealand and Iceland, to Brookies which will take you to the mat in Canada and Argentina and feisty Steelhead in the Pacific Northwest and wilds of Alaska.
Overall I think fishing in Iceland have never been better , slowing down now with the low water , starting to rain yesterday. We do have openings here and there during the season , we will not have whole 6 days on our rivers but we migh well be able to find a nice combination for you on 2 or 3 rivers during the same week , wich is even more fun to do , specially if you are coming Iceland first time and you are hungry to see a lot of our country , contact Arni at arnibald@lax-a.is or Harpa at harpa@lax-a.is or Stefan Pall at spall@lax-a.is , Arni arnibald@lax-a.is

The 2 rods at Laxá in Ásum is doing well , UK rods landed in the last 6 days 125 salmon , this is for 2 rods! Water is very low now , but still fish are running and the fishing is good , but anglers have to work harder now with super light tackle, but it is great fun and after all it is the real fishing where you have to be very clever. Arni arnibald@lax-a.is
West Ranga has had a great season but yesterdays numbers of the total numbers of salmon caught Ytri are 1454. The best fishing has been in Ægisíðufoss (waterfall), Ásinn and on the Langáflúðir. The water as always is great and clear.
I just counted the numbers so far caught on the Vididalsa , 460 have been landed , it is slightly better than last year , then at the same same 390 salmon was landed , Arni arnibald@lax-a.is

Fishing Reports from River Dee in Scotland, last updated: Monday 26th July
There was some hot action on the Dee last week following on from a reasonable mid week rise that encouraged a good run of fresh salmon and grilse to come forward. I had a feeling this would happen and was really delighted to hear of many anglers successes especially in the beats from Park to Cairnton who have been watching salmon hammering through their beats into the upper beats where good catches had been made. The beats that have reported so far this week are reporting 231 salmon and grilse to 21lbs and 55 sea trout to 5lbs.More...
