TRAVEL INFORMATION

Volcanos, waterfall and Ice age brown trout

Join our hosts to some of the most spectacular and remote places and fly fish for species you did not know to exist.

In the last few decades, Iceland has quickly become one of the Fly Fishing Meccas of the world, and for good reason, endless rivers and lakes, clear water, and strong stocks of wild and native Atlantic Salmon, Arctic Char, and Brown Trout are a tempting proposition to many anglers. We have decades of combined experience in fishing, guiding, and setting up fishing trips. Therefore we know the importance of a well-organized fishing trip. From the attributes of the fish and the beauty of the landscape to the quality of the food and the smoothness of the transport, we know that every detail is essential to the overall experience. Our passion and promise to you are to do everything we can to make your fishing experience in Iceland an unforgettable one.

Iceland is without a doubt one of the top fly fishing destinations in the world. We offer a wide variety of premium Salmon, Trout, and Char fisheries. Brown trout and Arctic char fishing is our specialty and we are constantly adding the best fishing options in Iceland to our selection.

Atlantic Salmon, Sea trout, Brown trout and Arctic char

The most suitable rod for most waters of Iceland is a 9 ft, 5, or 6wt weight rod. In smaller streams, however, it is more enjoyable to use a 3 or 4wt. Because of our unstable climate and frequent strong winds, bringing along a 7wt is a good idea, especially when lake fishing. DH 7-8wt 13’ rods when it comes to Salmon or Sea trout in some of the rivers. When fishing for trophy trout in a lake, the reel of choice should hold the fly line plus 120–170 yards (110–160 meters) of backing.

The fishing season in Iceland last from April 1st until October 20th. But each river and lake will have different opening and closing dates. In general, the trout fishing season (both for Sea-Run and resident brown trout, and Arctic Char) lasts from April 1st until October 20th whereas the Salmon season starts most place in June or July and lasts throughout September, with a few rivers staying open into October.
