In our latest YouTube video, Alex Jardine visits the Stóra Laxa to sample its world-renowned salmon fishing, and gives us a run-down of the lodge and the individual beats.

The Stóra Laxa has long had a reputation for its run of large multi-sea winter fish amid some of the most spectacular scenery in Iceland. The river itself is 150km east of Reykjavik, is 90km long and flows from Lake Grænavatn down to the glacial river of Hvítá.  It is a medium-sized river that winds its way down through spectacular canyons from the Highlands before opening up on the lower beats into gorgeous open meadows.
