Late July (from July 20th and onwards) is a very good time in West Ranga; we’ve seen daily catches go up to and above 100 salmon. But on an average day in an average year (if there is such a thing), daily catches are between 60 and 80 salmon, 3 – 4 salmon per rod. Late July is the height …

Svarta is one of our finest fly-only rivers with a very comfortable lodge and crystal clear waters. Nestled nicely in the middle of the big salmon territory in the north western part of the island, this river boasts of a very high 2 winter salmon / grilse ratio – often around 40%. When Lax-a took charge of the river several …

Blanda did not disappoint her fans this summer, for the third year in a row she gave up more than 2.000 salmon – with the majority of the salmon being caught on only 4 rods in beat 1. Blanda is our first salmon river to open up, on June 5th, and is usually only fished until mid-August. The fact that …

Hallá is a small and sensitive 2 rod river in Northwest of Iceland. The Hallá River is 10km long and fast flowing and rocky in the lower part, but the upper reaches are mostly slow flowing with cut-bank pools, ideal for fly- fishing with light tackle. It is the perfect places were the angler can be totally alone. Average catch …

As we stow away our rods, reels, waders and jackets (and the seemingly endless accessories) for the winter, we usually reminisce about the salmons we caught and lost this summer past. For me it‘s the huge salmon I hooked in Blanda in mid-August – that one has revisited me several times since then. I only saw its tail, the size …

According to our books, the final tally from Stora Laxa was 795 salmon – the highest number of salmon ever. Some salmon weren’t logged in the final days because the log book was full! But we have now gathered information on these remaining salmon and it seems we have a new record! The summer was a little peculiar in Stora, …

2010 was such a good year on one of our favorite self catering rivers when almost 800 salmon where landed from Langadalsa and Hvannadalsa rivers. For some reason most of Iceland west coast rivers have been slow this 2011 season , disapointing catch of total about 380 salmon from Langadalsa and Hvannadalsa was the outcome of this summer. Well I …

The fishing summer of 2011 has been slower than recent years and we hear many complain about not getting as much salmon as before. Still it is likely that the season of 2011 will be ranked as the 4th best salmon fishing season in number of salmon caught since we began to take down the records. This is how demanding …

“I had the unexpected opportunity to fish for a couple of hours in Beat 4 in Blanda (Refsá), on the morning of the 16th of September. I and my girlfriend Agnes went up there in to catch her first salmon, and maybe a few more. This part of the river is a favorite of mine, gin clear waters for most …
