Laxá in Leirarsveit, Haukadalsa, Tungulaekur

LAXÁ IN LEIRARSVEIT

This is one of Iceland's main rivers. It is of medium volume and fished with seven daily rods. The catch has varied from 700 to 1400 salmon in a single season. It has recently declined slightly as most other rivers in the country have swung up. Fisheries biologists are not worried though.
Last season there were more fish than the logs suggest, as long and hard droughts drove great numbers of the salmon into the lakes at the headwaters. The salmon did not return until late in the season.

HAUKADALSA

This excellent salmon river is one of Iceland's best. It is a medium volume river and although rather short, it is fished with five daily rods. There are many pools so the river easily withstands the pressure.
In 1997 the fishing dropped to a historic low just over 300 fish. But 1998 saw a fine upswing in fortunes with a catch of some 900 salmon. The Haukadalsa has a luxury lodge with a complete board and staff. It also has a good stock of sea char, yet they rarely are caught in the salmon sector. They push on fast through the river, enter the lake and run the Upper Haukadalsa which flows into the lake. The Upper- Haukadalsa is a popular trout beat.

TUNGULÆKUR RIVER

Tungulaekur, a phenomenal river, usually full of sea trout and so little fished that anglers venturing there usually have to stop fishing due to sore arms. Four day parties fishing four daily rods plus a few weekends produced over a thousand sea trout from the river, the average weight almost 7 pounds and the largest trout weighing 14 pounds
