Even though the summer is not quite over yet we have a clear winner in terms of most fish caught. When we will publish our top ten list on Thursday I fully expect West Ranga to be over the 8000 salmon mark. That is more than double the amount of salmon caught from the river in second place – Midfjardara. …
Tremendous Tungufljot
The salmon in river Tungufljot left it a little late this year to enter the river. Late August we had the first big runs of salmon in the river and since then the fishing has been good. One lucky angler was the right man at the right time and caught 21 salmon in one morning when a fresh run came …

When salmon have just entered the river they are much more aggressive than fish that have stayed in the river for weeks or months.
