Now we are all ready 3 weeks into the 2015 angling season here in Iceland. In April anglers are specially aiming for sea trout, brown trout and local char. Rivers like Varma and tungulaekur have been very good. Weather have been rather cold and that have affected the start of some river. 2 days ago, fishing started at lake thingvellir. Anglers have been catching brown trout in sizes from 2-8kg. and we will for sure, see some that is over 10 kg.

In just one week on 1st of April, 2015 angling season is starting here in Iceland. that day, many Brown trout, sea trout and Char rivers opens. two of those rivers are River Varma and River Minnivallalaekur, 2 great trout rivers. Both are within 1 hour drive from Reykjavik. Fishing in those rivers tends to be good, more or less, through out the season. Here you can find more info about river Varma and here is river Minnivallalaekur. Both rivers are great fly fishing rivers, great from rods for lines #3-6. See more pics below.

Here in Iceland we have well over 100 salmon rivers. Some of them are small and privately owned, and only fished by their owners. Permits for other rivers are sold to who ever wants to fish in them. Limited nr. of rods are allowed in each rivers. In the smallest rivers, only 1 or 2 rods are allowed pr. day, but in the largest rivers up to 20 rods are allowed. Smaller rivers usually have self caterings lodges but at the larger one, full service lodges are very often included.

If you are an angler and a hunter, one of the best way to enjoy Iceland, is to combine a shoting and fishing in one trip to Iceland. We at anglers.is are experts in fishing but now we have also added the possibility of Goose and Duck hunting in Iceland to our catalogue.

If you are planning a fishing trip to Iceland, there is one area you should definitely consider add to your trip, and that is Lake thingvallavatn. In Lake thingvallavatn lives three of the five species of freshwater fish found in Iceland: brown trout, Arctic charr and the three-spine stickleback. All though fighting the powerfull Arctic Char is great fun it is the brown trout that most anglers come for.
