Salmon fishing

With it's deep channels cut into hard volcanic rock, the 3 Islandic Rivers (Langadalsá, Hvannadalsá and Lágidalur) constitute a classic Icelandic salmon fishing scenery with in excess of 35 kilometers of rivers with varied and beautiful pools and runs that allow anglers to spot the salmon in their lies and as they rise to take a fly.

The rod fishing season in Iceland runs from the 1st June until end of September. The starting date may vary from river to river to meet the runs of salmon. The prime weeks on the rivers is early-mid July.

Although the rivers in places can look quite wide, for the most part the fishing is focused around the deeper channels where the salmon will lie in close proximity. As a consequence it is perfectly suited for a light single-handed rod with very little requirement to wade deeper than ankle height making it suitable for all ages and abilities.
