Perhaps there is no river that is more representative of the salmon rivers in Iceland than Lax\u00e1 in Kjos. It is said that the fisherman who learns to fish this river properly, can fish any river in Iceland successfully. Its waters can be extremely technical and demanding, offering great opportunities to test ones skill fishing with floating lines and flies as small as a size 18. Every year it ranks among the top 10 rivers in Iceland in terms of annual catch with an average of 1,200 to 2,400 salmon caught per year. <\/p>\n
Laxa at Kjos flows through beautiful glacial valley pf grassy pasture. It offers 25 kilometers of fishable waters and over 100 named pools. Visiting fishemen rotate through 5 separate beats, each having the option of fishing a sixth free beat if desired. <\/p>\n

They accompany the running salmon in the months of July and August becoming quite abundant by September. In fact, during the lastpart of the season, most of the visiting fishermen are there primarily for the seatrout.<\/p>\n
