The season is ON! 🎣

April feels like Christmas for us anglers in Iceland 🇮🇸

— a few of our rivers are now open, and some stunning fish have already been landed in the Leirá and West Rangá rivers.

Let the adventures begin! ⛰️

31/03/2025

Tomorrow is Opening Day! 🎣
Trout season kicks off tomorrow, and several rivers will be open for fishing, including Leirá, Hólaá, West Rangá, and Fullsæll.

We’ll be very active on social media all day tomorrow — keep an eye out for fresh updates and photos!

Can’t wait to get the season started — tight lines!

Throwback to 2014, when Stefán, co-owner of Iceland Outfitters, landed this incredible ice-age brown trout on the Svörtuklettar beat at Lake Thingvallavatn. 🎣

We now offer day tours to Svörtuklettar, a spectacular fishing spot located on the northern shores of Lake Thingvallavatn – just a 15-minute drive from Thingvellir National Park and about 40 minutes from the Reykjavík area.🗻

While the brown trout are often the main attraction in Lake Thingvallavatn, many anglers find that Arctic char fishing can offer a more consistent and enjoyable experience – especially as the season moves into summer. These native fish are found in shallower waters and tend to respond well to smaller nymphs and lighter tackle.

Spring opening is just around the corner! 🥳

We’re so excited for the upcoming season—and a few of our favorite rivers open as early as April 1st!
🌊 West Rangá, Leirá, and Hólaá will be few of the first to welcome anglers this spring.

We still have availability for some spring action, catching either local or sea-run brown trout in April and May. 🎣

There’s something about fly fishing in Iceland that’s hard to explain.
It’s not just about the fish—it’s the silence, the space, the stillness between casts.🎣

It’s the way time slows down, and how the smallest moment can stay with you forever.✨

Have you ever gone seatrout fishing in Iceland ? 🤯

There are some monsters seatrout in Icelandic rivers!
This one is from West Rangá river caught during spring 2 years ago.

We still have availability for some spring action in West Rangá river and Leirá river, for more info check the links in comments bellow 👇

Here’s a waterfall we don’t see as often! 🌊

This is Árbæjarfoss on the West Rangá River. It’s the second-lowest waterfall in the river, with Ægisíðufoss falls just downstream—the one that usually gets all the attention. But Árbæjarfoss is just as beautiful! 🤩

Fun fact: There are 11 waterfalls in the West Rangá River, but the majority of them are high up in the system and pretty remote!

The West Rangá River has some amazing scenery!

Hólaá river is such a magical little place✨

Hólaá is a beautiful and intimate river, perfect for day tours and a great choice for anglers of all levels. Whether you’re new to fly fishing or an experienced angler, this river offers an enjoyable opportunity to fish for brown trout and arctic char in a stunning Icelandic setting. 🌿🏞️

Counting down the days! 👀

The next season is just around the corner! 🎣 Only 24 days until the trout season opens and 75 days until the start of salmon season in Iceland—we can’t wait!

The salmon in this photo was caught at Urriðafoss waterfall in early June two years ago. What an unforgettable moment!

Have you booked your fly fishing trip to Iceland this year? Let us help you plan your adventure! 🌿🏞️

Plan ahead to secure your perfect adventure! 🌍🎣🏞️

We’ve received a lot of inquiries in the past few days about fishing—both for day tours and longer trips in West Rangá River.

Iceland is a dream destination for many, but fishing permits are limited and can often be sold out quickly, especially during peak season. Finding a guide on short notice can also be challenging, so we highly recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred dates.

Last-minute availability is never guaranteed, and we’d hate for you to miss out on the trip of a lifetime.

Bits from ION beat on lake Þingvallarvatn 🎣 ION Beat is divided between two premium spots, with two rods fishing each at a time, and a relaxing lunch break in the middle of the day. The Thingvellir (Þingvellir) area offers a unique combination of serene atmosphere, crystal-clear waters, and an otherworldly landscape shaped by breathtaking lava rock formations, distant volcanoes, and incredible fishing opportunities. Its raw natural beauty, paired with its short drive from Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital, makes Thingvellir National Park a must-visit destination for anyone looking to see, smell, and feel something truly extraordinary.
