Atlantic Salmon Fishing

With nearly 100 sustainable salmon fishing rivers in Iceland and most of those allowing between 4 and 20 rods to fish privately per day, there is a lot of fishing to be had in Iceland, but without the feeling of ever being cramped for space. A third of the salmon rivers can be reached from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, within a two hours drive.

The fishing comes with accommodation included in the price and most of the accommodation is in “full service lodges” or in self catering lodges, and these are both seriously equipped types of accommodation with kitchens, living rooms, sitting rooms, en-suite bathrooms and some with saunas and jacuzzis.
