THE FISHING
Lower Stóra Laxá offers over 60 marked pools for 6 rods across this medium sized river – all with a fantastic variety to them. From fast rocky pools and canyons at the top end, the river then opens up on to gorgeous meadows with slower, cutback pools full of big multi sea winter fish.
This section is the most easily accessible and accommodates all levels of angler. It also boasts the most famous and productive pools on the river, featuring some of the largest salmon you’ll come across in Iceland.
Surface fishing tactics are preferred and are truly Icelandic throughout the season it is amazing to see large salmon taking micro flies, hitches and sunray’s off the top.
