Fishing in Iceland - Icelandic fishing rivers


The Icelandic rivers are clearer, cleaner and perhaps more interesting than anywhere else in the world. They will challenge and frustrate as much as they will inspire and fascinate. The Atlantic salmon that run these rivers are not as large as those found in Russia, Norway or even Scotland, but they have a certain temperament which results in some of the most exciting fishing and hardest fights to be had in the freshwater world.

Icelandic rivers are known for presenting fishing conditions that require some innovative techniques with small or skated flies as well as multiple fly changes and speeds. The unnerving clarity of the water affords perfect visibility and demands caution when approaching a pool to give the best results. Unlike those in many other rivers around the world, Icelandic salmon responds very aggressively to the skated or "hitched" fly. There can be few more memorable fishing moments than one's first take from an Atlantic salmon on a skated fly.
