We are only just over a month away from the official start of the new season. We will then have several sea trout rivers opening up plus some lakes and rivers with stationary trout stocks. Most of the fishing though doesn't start until May.

Salmon taking over sea trout rivers? - 11.2.2010 Features

One of Iceland's leading fisheries biologists, Guðni Guðbergsson, has told us that “fringe rivers” for salmon have been producing more catches recently, perhaps even at the disposal of other stocks in the rivers, notably sea trout stocks. There may be two main reasons for this.

Salmon fishing in Iceland: Things looking good for 2010 - 8.2.2010 News

According to Guðni Guðbergsson, one of Iceland's leading fisheries biologists, the likelihood of a highly successful salmon season for 2010, is in all probability very, very good. “Good years come a few in a row, just like the bad years, and we have had two outstanding years in 2009 and 2008,” Guðni told us.

Fishing through the ice - 6.2.2010 News

The next season may be only a few weeks off, yet it is actually possible to fish in Iceland at the moment. While the winter has been light of snow, it has been heavy with frost and most if not all lakes in Iceland are covered with ice. A few hardy individuals have been taking a break from work by fishing through the ice.

Not much snow this winter….so far! But so what? - 27.1.2010 News

We are obviously starting our countdown for the next season which we are hoping will be on par with the last two which have delivered a record season (2008) and a near record season (2009) on the salmon front, with many individual river recording their best ever catches over the course of both seasons.

Angling club Strengur turns fifty: Miracle workers on Sela - 19.1.2010 News

The prominent angling club Strengur turned fifty last October and recently threw a birthday party worth waiting for. It started off with the west coast Laxa in Leirarsveit but most of their years have been dedicated to changing Sela in Vopnafjordur from a less than average salmon river to one of the worlds most coveted.

Langa: Always room for the unexpected - 12.1.2010 News

Langa may be one of Iceland's very best salmon rivers but it is not known for it's multiple mws's, rather its superstrong grilse. But during seasons of heavy runs there will always be some big fish on the prowl and more often than not they provide someone with great memories. Here is one such tale…

A few other top pools - 28.12.2009 News

Looking at several other pools following our article on Hnausi on Vatnsdalsa it is astonishing how prolific very small pools on tiny streams can be. One such pool is the Bridge pool on the Leirvogsa which stands at best as a small stream. Yet it is one of the countries best salmon “rivers”.

Several pools throughout Iceland are better than others. Starting as of now, we will have a look at a few of them. At first sight the Hnausastrengur on Vatnsdalsa looks like being the top producer. But perhaps further research will reveil a different pool. But until then…

Big Laxa brown trout beats: Satisfactory fishing and a new deal - 15.12.2009 News

Negotiations between the Angling Club of Reykjavík and the land owners of the famed brown trout fisheries on the big Laxa have agreed a new deal reducing considerably the financial commitment of the Angling Club. With the economic state of affairs in Iceland still pretty critical, this needed to be done to decrease the potential losses of both parties.
