Stora Laxa – Good run

In the past week we have had good runs in Stora Laxa with all beats producing good numbers. The bottom part of the river or beat 1&2 had a good run of grilse with 5-10 caught per day.

Beat three was also active and a group caught 8 salmons and after that Arni Baldursson went with a friend and they caught 9 in just one evening.

Beat four has also been active with fish in many pools. Catches have been from two to five salmons per day with the largest one to date a 95cm salon which was landed after a 40 minute fight.

In total Stora Laxa is now over 100 salmons and the best time is yet to come. The river is renowned for its huge runs in the autumn.
