Hofsa managers launch new web site
Beautiful scenery on the Hofsa.
The managers of Hofsa have launched a great new website at http://www.hofsa.is/ The web is a huge improvement from their former web, which wasn‘t though as bad as that statement might indicate!
What the new hofsa website has that the old one didn‘t is more clarity and easier navigating. You really had to look deeply into the old one, while everything is quite apparent now.
2008's biggest!
One thing readers can look at is the statistics for big salmon on Hofsa over the last two years and that makes pretty impressive reading, as the northeast rivers have long been rivers not dominated by grilse.
Some statistics: 2008: Seven salmon 100 cm long or more, meaning 20 pounds plus, the biggest an estimated 26 pounder! Also 58 salmon 90 cm plus, meaning 15 to almost 20 pounds.
2009: Not quite as many huge fish, but very respectable stuff anyway, 38 salmon 90 to 99 cm long, meaning 15 to just off 20 pounds, 183 salmon 80 to 89 cm, meaning 11 to just off 15 pounds and 442 salmon 72 cm and upto just off 80 cm, meaning very many of them being mws‘s.
Also: Average catch from 2004 to 2009 is 1.459 salmon, average catch pr.rod is 2,6 salmon and the average weight for the river is 3,4 kg, just off 7 Icelandic pounds. For a lot more, visit www.hofsa.is
