The small and delicate Vesturdalsa had a good season. Until recently the river was the center of a research program aimed at restoring faltering salmon stocks. It was purely fly fished with a strict catch and release policy and it seems to have done its bit in reviving the river.
Vesturdalsa in the northeast Vopnafjordur only opened this afternoon and things were looking relatively good all things considered. There were salmon running the river, sea char also. A few salmon have actually already been landed.
