Outstanding start for Straumfjardara
The former from Straumfjardara, an aprox 10 pounder.
Straumfjaradara‘s opening weekend finished with two mws‘s which is slightly outstanding for a river that has its major runs rather late by Icelandic standard. There is no rule that thee starting anglers are catching fish.
The second one, an 83 cm cock fish, aprox 12 pounds.
We saw several and caught the two, one in Snasi pool, the other in the President pool. They were aprox 10 and 12 pounders with fresh sea lice. We caught several good sea char as well,“ Konráð Ingi Jónsson told us. He is one of the two outfitters running the river. As we have a mandatory release clause for all salmon measuring over 70 centimeters, the pair were duly put back into the river with our good blessings and kind regards. Everybody in Iceland is hoping that by releasing the mws‘s we can get their numbers back to a substancial standard,“ Konráð said as well.
