Lake Thingvallavatn is the largest „natural” lake of the country and has several separated trophy brown trout fishing sections to offer. The native Lake Thingvallavatn “ice age brown trout” has rightly earned worldwide acclaim but has always been one of the most talked-about freshwater fish in Iceland. Its fame primarily based on the large size. The Lake Thingvallavatn fishing sections boasts a high percentage of brown trout in the 4lbs-18lbs category and several larger ones are hooked every year.

The fishing is mostly practiced by using single handed fly rods and floating lines. Nymphing, dry fly fishing as well as fishing with streamers is usually the most rewarding technique. The fishing is practiced entirely from the lake shore or by using waders. The Lake Thingvallavatn brown trout sections only allow fly fishing and catch & release.  Only 50 minute´s drive from Reykjavik.
