HIGHLIGHTED DESTINATIONS
Laxá í Mývatnssveit, Iceland
Laxá í Myvatnssveit is undoubtedly one of the finest destinations for wild brown trout in Iceland and probably all of the world. Sizes usually vary from 35 cm to over 75 cm. Fish in the 20+ ib category are hooked here every year. Dry fly fishing can be excellent at times during the summmer. A must fish destination for the travelling trout fly fisherman! More information here.
River Finn, Ireland
This little gem of a river is one of Ireland’s best kept secrets. Chances of catching a spring salmon can be quite good off of any significant flood in April and May. June and July is the time for what can be unforgetable action for grilse. Fishermen will find salmon spread throughout the system during rest of the season until mid-September enjoying good action off of every flood. More information here.
