Fishing in Iceland - Deluxe

SUGGESTED ITINERARY FOR ANGLING IN ICELAND – DELUXE

 This time we have decided to go for a more deluxe experience, heading for one of the most famed rivers in the country – Laxá in Adaldal. Please see description of the river here below:

 

 

Laxá in Adaldalur:  is the ultimate goal of all keen anglers in Iceland, but unfortunately since it is so popular it is often hard to get access to the river during the main angling season.  The biology of the river is quite unique, it is the only outflow of the Lake Mývatn, a true nature pearl in the north east part of Iceland. The lake is fed by clear water springs as well as geothermal hot springs and provides rich plankton supporting the habitat of mosquitos, trout and ducks. The area is a wonderland for birders and the reason why anglers are attracted to the river is not only it´s richness in fish but also it´s extraordinary natural beauty and mild climate. Laxá is one of the largest and most expensive samlon rivers in Iceland famous for producing large 2sw salmon and prdigious numbers of wild brown trout.  The river is a fly-fisher´s delight and is exclusive to one rod.  One fishing rod includes private accommodation in single rooms at the fishing lodge equipped with open floor kitchen, a spacious living room and a nice veranda with furniture and a gas barbecue offering splendid panoramic views of the surroundings.

There are several places of interest to visit in the surrounding areas such as:

 

  1. The national park of Jökulsárgljúfur, spectacular river canyons with majestic waterfalls
  2. The Lake Mývatn region with its boiling mud springs and bizarre lava formations
