Fly Fishing Iceland Litlá River

Litlá river in the Kelduhverfi district is known for large sea trout, brown trout and a unique ecology. The river flows from Skjálftavatn Lake which was formed in earth tremors in the early 1970s. The water temperature of this river reaches up to 10-12 degrees C° because of inflow from warm fountains. As a result, the sea trout enjoys a fine environment as is reflected in its rapid growth. The river also contains sea char and salmon.

Guiding and transportation:

We have English-speaking guides who are experts on the water where you will be fishing.  Just inform us of your needs and interests, whether you ask for instruction or want to fish alone, we will do our best to fulfill your wishes and needs. Usually we have 2 persons per guide and they will have their own SUV (4x4 vehicle) at their disposal.

Equipment and clothing
For trout fishing we recommend rods for lines #4-6. For salmon fishing: lines #6-9. If you want to travel light we can supply you with top of the line gear.

Tackle disinfection
There is a strict policy of visiting anglers having their tackle sterilized before coming to Iceland. This should be done in a 2% formaldehyde solution for 10 minutes and performed by a vet surgeon. (Tackle sterilized in Virkon S is also acceptable.) A signed inventory of what has been sterilized should be provided by the vet for presentation to the customs officers at Keflavik airport. The most important items to be treated are: rods, reel/line, waders and flies. If you cannot find a vet to do this for you before leaving home, the process will be carried out by staff at Keflavik or Akureyri airport.

Clothing: You should bring warm clothes since it can get cold even in mid-summer when temperatures may drop down to about 0° C, the average being between 8 and 15°. The temperature can rise  to 25-30° C on warm summer days with southerly winds, especially in the northern part of the country.

Accommodation is included in our price and usually comprises a double room (single at extra cost). This, however, varies between lodges and also depends on how remote the location is. All meals are included. Alcoholic beverages & private phone calls are not included in the price.
