In our latest YouTube video, Peter McLeod visits the Hítará after many years away, and catches up with Halli and Raynir to discuss the history of one of Iceland’s most beloved lodges, as well as the terrific salmon, Arctic char and sea trout fishing on offer.

The Hítará is one of Iceland’s best-known salmon rivers and is ideal for intact parties looking for technical salmon fishing with a sprinkling of multi-sea winter fish. Though an average-sized river, it has a long and remarkable fishing history, dating back to when British gentry started fishing here.
