Laxá in Aðaldal - trout beats

The River Laxa stands out not only as one of Iceland’s premier salmon rivers, but it also holds a global reputation as one of the finest brown trout rivers.

Lónsá / Lónsá estuary

Lónsá offers a fantastic variety for anglers, from tidal estuary fishing to a small mountain stream with large sea run fish.

Litlaá & Earthquake lake

Litlaá is a unique and highly productive trout river fed directly by Lake Skjálftavatn, often called the “earthquake lake. One of the defining features of Litlaá is a geothermal branch that flows into the river. 

Mýrarkvísl

Mýrarkvísl promises an unforgettable experience.  Anglers can expect to reel in impressive numbers, often averaging 10-15 catches a day during peak season.

Brunná in Öxafjörður

River Brunná in Öxarfjordur is a gin clear arctic char and sea trout river on the north/east coast of Iceland. This spectacular river flows through wonderful surroundings, offering areas of unique beauty and diversity.
