Autumn fishing on River Dee

Lax-á office will be closed tomorrow 17th of May due to a national holliday. You will ofcourse still be able to reach us via email. More...

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. Contact Arni at arnibald@lax-a.is for all further information.

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.
