Had a great time at Tungufljot river!

Tungufljot river has been producing great numbers the past weeks this late season which has been absolutely lovely to see, especially given how many rivers have been slow this year late in the season. I heard from our angler Bob who went on a day trip to Tungufljot waterfalls and sent me a line once he got back and some photos …

A great trip to Middalsa!

We got an email from our angler Lars who was fishing on Middalsa river this summer and had a great time. It is always lovely to hear from everyone after the trip and see how it was. Here are some photos from their trip and letter shared along:

Even though the summer is not quite over yet we have a clear winner in terms of most fish caught.

Water Please!

This has been a strange summer indeed in Iceland. We are used to rainy summer days and a lot of them, but this summer it has hardly rained at all. In some parts of the country hardly a drop of rain has fallen since June. As a consequence the rivers are suffering with water levels at an all-time low. Some …
