We have a few rivers that have opened this week. As you may have seen on the web page West Ranga opened with 25 fish just on the first six hours this morning. A great start. Hallá began its season with one salmon, but there were signs of new fish. Langadalsá and Hvannadalsá opened the same day this week. Unfortunately, …
First three days in Hallá
Our small salmon river up North, Hallá opened the 21st of June. As in many other rivers, anglers do not know what to expect the first days. Everything started quietly the first day and a half but yesterday morning a good run of salmon had gone up the river. This resulted in the first salmon of the season in the river caught …
Good runs continue in Iceland
The rivers in Iceland have had a good opening in general. We have already told you about the fine openings of Blanda and Norðurá and recently rivers Þverá and Kjarrá opened as well. We are delighted to report that river Þverá opened with 15 salmons caught and river Kjarrá with a whopping 34 salmon caught. So far the season has …
Good Arctic Char fishing at Ásgarður
Ásgarður char beat is a nice area that offers good Arctic Char fishing the end of May and beginning of June. We heard from Tómas Sigurðsson an Icelandic angler who knows Asgarður very well. He spent one day fishing Ásgarður this week and caught eight beautiful chars, all of them from 3-5 pounds. The char fishing has been good this season …
The first days of the season
I think most anglers here in Iceland can agree with me when saying that the first two rivers have had commendable openings. First four and days at Norðurá produced 24 salmon on eight rods and river Blanda produced fifteen salmon on four rods. These are not numbers that go into the record books but very pleasing considering the below average …
Great start to the salmon season in Iceland
River Blanda and Norðurá opened this morning, and there was fish! The first salmon was caught in Norðurá at 07:17 and shortly thereafter another one was caught, bot with sea lice. In all three salmon have been caught in Norðurá in the first two hours. The first salmon in river Blanda was caught at 7:30 this morning at pool Breiðan …
Stora Laxa and Asgardur Combination
The Stora Laxa river is one of the most beautiful rivers in Iceland, for myself I will never get enough of it, there are new fishing places around every corner more beautiful then the other. The Asgardur is situated nearby which makes it great as a combination but that is a very different river so it is good to experience …
Have you been to Blanda beat 4 ?
Beat 4 is a tributary of the main river Blanda. This is said to be one of the best kept secret rivers in Iceland, many fish around and they are so willing to take small flies and the hitch. I highly reccomend this fishing, the lodge is self catering and the price is fair. The river is small, ideal for …
First salmon of the season caught in Iceland
Even though the salmon rivers of Iceland have not officially opened the first salmon of the season has already been caught. Norwegian anglers were fishing for sea trout in the river mouth of West Ranga, their guide told them to use a Sunray Shadow because it has been very successful for the seatrout. And successful it was indeed, they caught …
Trout fishing going strong
In Iceland we have had the harshest winter for decades and the winter was followed by a very cold spring with temperatures dropping way below zero in the nighttime the first ten days of May. In the past days it has finally gotten warmer and you can almost hear the grass growing after the rain showers. We have previously reported …
