The Pinnacle of Coldwater Angling

Iceland is a pristine sanctuary for wild, fighting coldwater fish. Read about what you can target on our private beats.

Wild Atlantic Salmon leaping

Atlantic Salmon

Salmo salar

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.

Wild Brown Trout

Salmo trutta
