Lax-á team is proud to offer this trout fishing beat to all of our enthusiastic anglers aching for big trout. The trout beat of Tungufljot is rather new to us here in Lax-a but for the past 2 years we have been researching the river with good success. The trout beat is a combination of 3 small rivers running into one big one..

As you know the brown trout can be difficult to catch since he is quite aware when the fly hits the surface. The river is quite big so there are many different pools to try out, some are long and deep stretches, others just small mirror pools in a roundabout..

And thats one of the hidden secrets of this river, it has so many pools to fish that you almost never fish the same pool more then once in 3 days, unless of course it´s packed with good sized fish..

The best method to fish the river is to walk upstream and fallow rising fish, the size of the fish in the Tungufljot river indicates that there is a good variety of food around in the river system as well as there is a lot of spots with hot water running in from underground, always hot spots for the fishing..

Best time to go to Tungufljot is June – July and August, but in may and September you can always get fish as well. We operate many summerhouses in the area that are suitable for 2-4 anglers at a time, they are self catering, fully equipped with linen and a nice Jacuzzi to relax in after a hard day fishing the river.
