We bring you fresh weekly stats from Iceland. There was a slight downturn in catches but that can be explained in part by the Mallorca weather we have been enjoying.

Here is a precious photo from our 8 year old angler, Matthilda, this early season up at Stora Laxa beat 4. A little girl releasing a big salmon in the canyons and truly a special moment she will treasure forever.
