Breiddalsa is rumbling towards a new record catch bettering its „old“ record the dates „way back“ to last year! The going has been great on Breidda all season long and it seems only an accident can stop a new record statistic for the river beinig acheived.

The salmon season is getting short on remaining weeks and overall we are looking at a good average season. Which means few record catches bein reported, yet most rivers alive with fish. In some places the average weight has been outstanding.

Scotman Lochy Porter landed a record breaking brown trout in the Mývatnssveit beat of the Big Laxá. It wasn´t the heaviest one ever but it was the one with the longest ever measurements!

Despite some extreame cold conditions this spring and early summer, some of the brown trout fishing has been out of this world. Not everybody knows this, but the brown trout is a native to Iceland and it grows to be very big indeed!

The salmon season of 2011 started impressively this morning as two of Iceland‘s major rivers were opened.

Recently the Icelandic Bureau of Fresh Water Fisheries held its annual conference. One of the main topics of each meating is the prediction for the pending salmon season. It turned out to be very favorable.

The angling club Strengur, which operates two of Icelands mythical rivers Selá and Hofsá, has opened up á brand new website which is packed with info and photos from these two greats.

Eldvatn, the south coast sea trout river, has been producing well so far. Lightly fished over the spring period, it is looking more and more like a viable option for the springfishing minded fly fishermen.

Following a rather cold start to the Minni season, things have been looking up recently and the usual huge browns have been seen, hooked, landed and released. Remarkable specimens, some ranging to an estimated 14 pounds!

Icelands enigmatic Tungufljot was opened up for fishing last Friday and the group fishing over the first two days had landed 15 fish with half a shift remaining. A few of them were very big!

Iceland‘s angling season 2011 started in full flow last Friday, on the 1rst of April. Among the rivers to open up was the Tungulækur, Icelands finest sea trout fishery. And it started with a bang.

We recently aquired the statistics for Reykjadalsa last season. Reykja is mainly a brown trout river, yet offers a substantial chance of catching a salmon or two. Last seasons totals where very impressive, so much so that the river is almost totally booked for the coming season.

Speaking of the spring season, we recently obtained last years statistics for Eldvatn, the sea trout river, one of the „openees“ pencilled in for the first day of April. Pretty good statistics at that!

We told you that we would point out some outstanding trout fishing options for the spring fishing, due to start on April the 1rst. Our last feature focused on sea trout rivers while this feature will shed light on stationary trout options.

Today, there are a mere two months until we start fishing up here again. The weather can be harsh and volatile but the fish are there, big ones. Very, very big trout.

One of our listed rivers has switched outfitters, but due to the fact that the new one is one of our clients, our coverage of it will hardly change. The river in question is the famous Tungulaekur, which has been hailed as one of the worlds best sea trout rivers.

Our reporting on Vatnsdalsa has been primarily focused on its huge reputation for big salmon. However what is well known in Iceland, yet not so well known abroad is its outstanding trout fishing.

Iceland is blessed with some of the worlds best trout fishing. We have wild brown trout, sea trout, Arctic char of quality that goes unsurpassed. Last summer we had a look into the interiour and found some outstanding brown trout fishing.

One of our clients, the outfitters of Straumfjardara, have opened a new website. It is well worth looking at, as great care and fineness have been put into its setup.
