Local Knowledge

At Iceland Fishing Guide, we provide you with the opportunity to take advantage of our extensive local knowledge gained from years of fishing in the region, ensuring that you get the most out of your time spent fly fishing in Iceland. Our primary focus is on fishing in the North and East of Iceland for a few simple reasons.

In North and East Iceland, the population is much less dense compared to the south, allowing you to fish in rivers with significantly lower fishing pressure than those in South and South West Iceland. With approximately 220,000 out of 300,000 Icelanders residing in the greater Reykjavík area and surrounding towns, this area is the most densely populated in Iceland. It is no surprise that rivers in this region have experienced higher fishing pressure compared to those further away.

However, we understand that some individuals may have limited time for a fishing trip, which is why we also have access to a few exclusive rivers near Reykjavík for those looking to make the most of their time in Iceland.
