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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Yesterday evening some of the Lax-Á team went on a few hours of fishing in Þingvallavatn. The winds were very calm and the evening sun shined beautifully on the surrounding mountains. Our Director of Sales, Jóhann Torfi Ólafsson performed very well and caught this beauty. Well done! // LAX-Á TEAM

West Ranga is one of the best known salmon river in Iceland. It is not only known for its quality fishing and great variety of fishing pools but also for the high volume of salmon caught there every year. The quantity of salmon speak for itself as the West Ranga usually ends as the most productive salmon river in Iceland.   …
