Brown Trout & Arctic Char

Iceland has some of the best brown trout and arctic char fishing to be found in the world. The fresh water fishing season in Iceland starts in April on several sea trout & brown trout rivers as well as a few lakes. The main brown trout & arctic char season starts in May and ends in mid-September. The prime sea trout season is from late July until late October. The prices differ somewhat from one fishery to another, but also throughout the season. It’s possible to book accommodation on self-catering basis or at lodges offering full board services.

Atlantic Salmon

The salmon season starts in June and extends into mid-September. In a number of late-run rivers, fishing ends at the close of September, but few ocean ranching salmon rivers are open until late October. The prime and the highest priced time is in general the period of mid-July until mid-August. That is actually the period when most of the salmon is due to be running up the home rivers for spawning. The prices differ somewhat from one river to another, but also throughout the season. Usually the lowest rate at the beginning of the season and then at the end of the season. It’s possible to book accommodation on self-catering basis or at lodges offering full board services.
