We bring you fresh weekly stats from Iceland. There was a slight downturn in catches but that can be explained in part by the Mallorca weather we have been enjoying. Many rivers are lacking heavily in water and badly in need of a rain. Now it has started raining and hopefully the salmon will start to take again. Meanwhile West Ranga is still absolutely on fire with 829 salmon in one week.
