The Middle beat, located above the Faxi fall, is a fantastic late season salmon beat at a very good price. The beat holds four rods and daily catches can range from 1-2 salmon up to 6-12 salmon. Access to the beat is very good, very little walking required - when fishing the top pool anglers need to walk a short distance, and that‘s about it.

Arni fishing just below the top pool - this area is full of salmon |
This beat is a fly only beat, we reccommend double handed rods and floating lines w/sink tips. The best flies are red and black Frances tubes and the German Snaelda, the Sunray Shadow is also well worth a try. Long tail flies in sizes 10, 8, 6 and 4 also work well, black, green, orange and blue colours all great.

| These patterns work well, bring tube versions |
Double hand rods are the best tools here |
The best time to fish the middle beat is from early August until mid-September, and late September fishing can also be outstanding. We at Lax-a feel that this is probably the „best buy" choice salmon beat for late season salmon fishing - when taken into account the price and daily catches.

| The lower island pool, a single hand rod can be fun here |
Some very nice trout can also be found in Tungufljot |
There is a very warm and comfortable self catering lodge for this beat.
This beat is ideal to combine with trout fishing in Galtalækur or salmon fishing in East - or West Ranga, or just as a stand-alone trip. The magnificent Gullfoss waterfall and the hot spring Geysir (wich all hot springs in the world are named after) are only a few minutes away - so when taking a break from fishing, a world-class sight seeing tour is at your doorstep.
