The Brei\u00f0dals\u00e1 River is a beautiful mid-sized salmon river located on the East coast of Iceland near the village of Brei\u00f0dalsv\u00edk. Incuded in the fishery’s rotation are the tributaries, Tinnudals\u00e1 and Nor\u00f0urdals\u00e1, two small rivers ideal for delicate fishing with one hand rods and small flies. In contrast, light two hand rods or switch rods are the instruments of choice for fishing the main river, the Breiddals\u00e1 which offers large pools with beautiful fly water. The entire system provides enough variety to content just about any kind of fly fisherman.<\/p>\n
Apart from the beauty of the Breiddalsa’s waters, another big draw are the salmon. The Breiddals\u00e1 offers an unusually high percentage of two and three sea winter salmon and every year fish topping 20 lbs are caught. For years the river managment has maintained an intensive smolt release program to increase the numbers of returning fish. Additonally, the lower part of the river offers fine fishing for sea-run arctic char while the upper river also can provide good fishing for resident brown trout.<\/p>\n
To complete the Breiddals\u00e1’s offering, guests are accommodated in one of the best lodges in Iceland. The lodge is strategically located on top of a bluff overlooking the river within a short distance of the best pools.<\/p>\n

We recommend light two hand 11 to 12 foot rods or 7 to 8 weight switch rods for fly fishing in the Breiddals\u00e1 itself. One hand 9 foot 6 to 7 wieght rods are ideal for fishing the Tinnudals\u00e1 and Nor\u00f0urdals\u00e1 tributaries.<\/p>\n
Effective flies include: Black and Red Frances, Snaelda, Blue Charm, Black & Blue, Green Brahan, Collie Dog in hook sizes 6 to 12 as well as small hitch flies.<\/p>\n
