Iceland is a fly fishing destination with huge variety and opportunity for the travelling angler. It is this variety and the consistency that keep us returning year on year. Whilst Atlantic salmon is often the primary focus we do also run trip for the incredible brown trout and arctic char that inhabit these waters as well as giant sea trout.
In 2027 we will be running an extended range of Iceland hosted trips, showcasing some of the best fishing locations at prime fishing times. These trips are hand selected by the hosts based on years of experience to give anglers the best experience these locations offer.
