 Last week was slow and not many fish running, I think some are through already, good news is that yesterday it seems that fish where running the lower river and 175 fish went through the counter trap up river and some can go pass, so fish are coming. Last group was not happy, not that many fish caught, or 25 salmon, some big and 1 over 30 pounds. Unfortunately there where local anglers on the water both with leagal licences and with no licences, this is not easy to deal with. Saturyday, a sunny day on the Kola river, we went for a few hours fishing to test the water and see how the situation is. We went down Reindeer, we saw no fishermans , at Bridge , Three stones , the two Marrines and upper Katle had no fishermans , but there where 4 fishermans at Katle pool. We landed one just at 30 pounds in Lower Katle pool. David Parkin from UK lost a good fish at Bridge. Eugenio from Spain landed a 17 pounder from Monica. Ismo from Finland took a 23 pounder from Pump, we went out 9 people. Water level is just right and temperature in the water at 9 celcius.
Sunday on the Kola river; cold and wind, Monica one of 8 pound, 13 and 19 pounder from Junction to Bill from UK, Jukka took a 16 pounder from Bridge and an 18 pounder was caught from Upper Monica.
We saw only two flyfishers at Monica so it was peaceful. No anglers at Net pool. Some where though at Junction and Pump. And two was seen at Bear beat.
Picture is of Janne, Jukka, Equenio and Ismo having a beer at the Park Inn Hotel Veranda after fishing.

16 May 2012  We start in the morning and head to the area around glacier Eyjafjallajökull. We drive on rough roads and cross numerous glacier rivers to reach Thorsmörk glacier and volcano valley. We spend some time exploring these adventurous surroundings. In the early afternoon we leave this lovely rugged environment and drive down to the black basalt sand shore south of Eyjafjallajökull-glacier. Right here by the Atlantic Ocean we experience the enhanced driving ability with the partly deflated 38" tires. In the end off the day we head back to Rangá lodge. More... |

15 May 2012 
We have some very good days available in Hvannadalsa, one of our rivers in the West-Fjords. We have been cultivating this river for a number of years now, and the results have been extremely good. A couple of years ago the river nearly broke the 500 salmon mark – on only 3 rods.
Like so many rivers in Iceland the prime season is from late July until late August, so these are very good dates.

14 May 2012  Recent Catches
The River Dee saw a lot of anglers fishing the length of the catchment looking for the elusive salmon with catches reported from Park to Crathie. If you were in the right place at the right time there were fish to be caught. The numbers of fish running this river so far do appear to be well down on last year’s excellent spring catch with season to date catch of 1286 quite a bit down on the 5 year average spring catch of 2028. That said FishDee beats reported 143 salmon to 21 lbs and 8 sea trout. Carlogie had an excellent total with anglers catching 21 salmon, Aboyne Water and Birse reported 10 apiece with Ballogie and Cairnton just one behind on 9 apiece.

14 May 2012  The spring has finally arrived in Iceland and now we are all awaiting the summer with great anticipation. Even though the trout season has already started – we are all counting down the days until the salmon season starts. It’s only three weeks away.
Blanda is our first river to open on June 5th and in mid and late June other Icelandic rivers follow suit. Our new river Skjalfandafljot opens on June 18th (we are very excited about this one), the Ranga’s ( East & West) come into play in the beginning of July and Vididalsa opens in late June. By July 1st all our rivers in Iceland have opened up.
Gaula in Norway and Kola and Varzina in Russia are in their prime in June – But Lakselva in Norway reaches the height of the season in July.
The Dee in Scotland has been open since the beginning of February and began with a bang, low waters plagued the river in March but things are looking up now.
In July we will welcome our first groups in the new hunting & angling camp in Greenland – our biggest hunting project to date. |
