Hólaá River, located in South Iceland. This amazing little river is the best arctic char river in South Iceland and our most popular day tour river. is a highly sought-after destination for fishing day tours originating from Reykjavik. During early and late seasons, trout are commonly caught, whereas mid-season yields the best arctic char catch in this region. Hólaá’s accessibility is convenient, with a brief walk from the parking lot, making it suitable for most guests. Hólaá is a fun river to fish both for novice and seasoned anglers. Families with children over 10 years old can appreciate this option. Spinners are permitted on Hólaá, but small flies, primarily nymphs, are responsible for about 90% of all catches.

Leirá River is a fly fishing and catch-and-release-only river.
Located a mere 40-minute drive from Reykjavik, it is a small 2-rod river.
During April and May, we can expect a bountiful catch of sea trout, with the river’s serene and picturesque setting adding to the experience. In the months between July 20th and October 10th, we fish for salmon and sea trout.
Leirá River is easily accessible and offers a delightful fishing experience.
West Ranga River is among the most exceptional salmon rivers in Iceland. In addition to salmon, we can catch big and stunning sea trout during the spring months of April and May. The fishing area extends throughout the river below Arbaejarfoss waterfall.
It’s essential to note that weather conditions in Iceland during the aforementioned period can be quite unpredictable, with the possibility of inclement weather. While we often experience beautiful weather, please ensure you’re equipped for the worst. West Rangá is roughly a 90-minute drive from Reykjavik.
West Rangá trout beat, offers a challenging yet picturesque trout fishing experience. The season is between April and October. While the fish are sizeable, they are not in abundance, and the catch we target typically constitutes some of the largest trout you will encounter. Nonetheless, the ideal time to catch them is during inclement weather. It’s worth noting that the activity entails a significant amount of walking.
