Highly aggressive and immensely powerful, the Icelandic Atlantic Salmon is the ultimate challenge for fly fishermen. In rivers like the Blanda, multi-winter fish enter systems from June onwards, running upstream through deep pools and swift rapids. Icelandic salmon rivers are strictly regulated, maintaining excellent numbers and private beats for exclusive angling.
Iceland possesses two extraordinary, distinct brown trout strains: the massive migratory Sea-Run Browns of the South Coast (at Battle Hill) and the ancient, giant resident "Ice-Age" Browns of Lake Thingvallavatn. Both offer legendary fighting endurance and reach weights rarely seen anywhere else on the globe.
The most abundant freshwater salmonid in Iceland. Beautiful, highly colored orange and gold fish that inhabit cold, glacier-fed streams and high-elevation lakes. Central Highland waters like Kaldakvísl and Tungnaá offer highly technical sight-fishing opportunities for massive resident char in canyon waterfalls.
For a uniquely diverse angling experience, Fish Partner offers guided saltwater fly fishing departing directly from Reykjavik Old Harbour. Target hard-fighting marine predators including massive Atlantic Cod, speedy Pollock, Haddock, and Mackerel in the rich sub-Arctic coastal shelf.
