Norðurá, along with Blanda River up North, offers the first Salmon fishing possibilities in Iceland every season, as they both start early June. The …

1 salmon caught and another lost at Birse beat on river Dee

Arni Baldursson caught a beautiful salmon at Birse beat on the Dee yesterday, another one was lost shortly before. Both were at the Tree pool. Although the fishing has been slow on the Dee this season we have been lucky that the Lower Crathes beat has been the most successful on the river and in fact has had better catches …

Opening of Lake Þingvallavatn

We went and opened our beat in Lake Þingvallavatn yesterday. The weather conditions were pretty awful as you can see from the picture below shot through the car windshield. But when in Iceland you just dress accordingly and go fishing! I have never in my life caught anything sitting in the car! At first the wind was blowing so hard …

Great start to the season in Iceland

Many of the Trout Rivers and lakes in Iceland opened for business on the 1st of April.

The largest salmon caught in Iceland in 2014

To us fishermen size matters. We are always after that large one – the trophy fish of our dreams. In Iceland a few of those monsters are caught every year, sadly they are less common now than in the good old days.

Trout life

The most common freshwater fish in Iceland is the good old brown trout. If you see a lake in Iceland you can be pretty sure that a few brownies reside under surface.

The perfect family destination for self catering fishing

Hallá is located in the prolific northwest region of Iceland. This is a clear two-rod river with a self catering lodge – near the town Skagastrond. The river was closed for fishing for some years around the turn of the century, due to tha fact that the salmon stock had all but disappeared. Since re-opening the annual catches have been …
