Now for three seasons in a row there have been record season in Iceland for Salmon fishing , 2008 , 2009 and 2010 all three best season ever in salmon fishing history of Iceland. We think there is no reason for not beeing another great season for 2011.  2010 was a very interesting season in Iceland as Salmon came very early ,  in june and early July , and not for many many years there have been so many 2 winter salmon in the run,  there where some rivers that hardly had any grilse most of the fish landed 10 pounds and bigger, most of the rivers reported some very good fish 20 pounds and over , and on some rivers like Vididalsa it was hardly a news any more to report a salmon over 20 pounds. Well we will see what happens in 2011 , but things looks good that is for sure, Arni This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

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.

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.

40 different corn fields for our Geese shooting will secure great shooting for our hunters ,  this way we will be able to rest each field up to a week , that means when you arrive to the shooting area we will take you to a filed that have been untouched for days.  Top guides , houndreds of geese  and great accommodations just minutes away from the shooting fields will secure great memories with us in Iceland.

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.

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.
