About Hvannadalsa
River Hvannadalsa is located in the remote area of Westfjords, approx 275 km from Reykjavik – on the west part of the Island. Hvannadalsá shares its river mouth with the another river, Langadalsá, but holds considerably more water, with a striking diversity of pools, waterfalls and memorable gorges. The current is faster and the fish are strong fighters, yet there are lovely slow-running fly-fishing streams in between. It is crystal-clear, and salmon are easily spotted from higher ground, whilst arctic char can be caught at the river mouth.
