Styrmir with a beautiful Seatrout Trophy from pool Nedsti Tangi.
The river Sog is well known amongst anglers for both the salmon fishing and the char fishing.  The Asgard beat at river Sog is one of the very best rivers in Iceland and  offers both very good char/trout fishing and an excellent  lodge. The freshwater char can grow up to sizes of 12 pounds. In addition to the char, brown trout and sea-trout are also caught. The prime time for trout is in early spring (April – June).  It only takes about 45 minutes to drive to the river from Reykjavik, so it is ideal for short day-trips as well a longer tours. Guiding and all gear & tackle can easily be arranged upon request.

Tackle: 9,6″ single had rod, full floater, dry flies and nymphs weighted and unweighted sizes 10-12-14-16, natural colors, brown, green, black, yellow
