    Default Iceland - Fly fishing paradise

    All fly fishermen have heard of the huge atlantic salmon that can be caught in Icelandic rivers, it's also known how expensive it is.

    But did you know , that sea trouts in iceland grow over 100cm ? and the cost is only a fraction of these expensive salmon rivers.

    My company , Eldhraun Angling & Hunting advenutres, rents one of the best sea trout rivers in Iceland river Eldvatn ( fire water ) , each year numerous sea trouts over 90cm are caught by anglers and every few years , over 100cm sea trouts catch the fly. All trout is catch / release only so future generations can enjoy these natural wonders that the sea trout is. The stock is natural, it's not man made like so many rivers !

    River Eldvatn also has a descent stock of atlantic salmon , brown trout and arctic charrs .

    Please visit our webpage for more information about river Eldvatn and other trout adventures we have to offer. We also offer fly fishing & hunting for goose and duck combo tours.

    Char is the rarest catch in our region so i only have 2 photos of char in our entire photo gallery The first char caught this season was caught last friday 25th of April , 68cm estimated 7 pounds http://www.eldhraun.is/photo/

    Our Facebook pages have a lot of images as well , mostly of beautiful sea trouts. The english one i linked in my first post and here is a link to the Icelandic version which has a lot more images https://www.facebook.com/Eldvatn

    I have to admit that i have not done much of fly photographing.

    Jon,
    You might want to quote some prices in US dollars. 250 euros is about 350 US; right? So, for your 6 day tour
    we're looking at $2500 American, plus tips? I've met some of your countrymen at the San Diego Glider Port
    where we go surf fishing.
    Best,
    Larry S

    Airfare from Sacramento to Iceland looks like it might be around $2,000 usd round trip.

    This could be an exciting adventure.

    Hi Larry

    You're right 250€ is approx 350 USD , so that's approx 2.100 USD for a 6 day tour. That price does not include international flights, travel insurance or any food or drinks . The basic tours are self catering to keep the prices down but full board is always an option.

    Kind regards

    Thanks for the reply , Jon - That's a pretty fair deal these days !

    I've watched several documentaries on Iceland , and it looks to be an amazingly beautiful place . Some day , when I drag myself away from the tropical surf ....
