IN COOPERATION with Angling Club Strengir we are proud to offer for the first time the Grenlækur river on the south-east coast of Iceland. It is one of the country´s best sea-trout rivers and we are fortunate to be able to fish the very popular Beat 5, "Seglbudir" (four rods). The water is crystal clear and the river is set in astonishingly beautiful lava surroundings.

Fishing is from 17 June to 10 October. The fish are sea-run brown trout which average 3 to 6 lbs; some pools also have resident browns. Prime time is late summer and autumn. A considerable quantity of good size char are also present, expecially in mid-summer, and the occasional salmon. Anglers may keep three fish per rod per day, then practise catch-and-release. Floating or slow-sinking lines are mostly used, as the clear water makes the pools very sensitive.

A superb lodge is being built for the 2002 season. It has four twin-bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a comfortable sitting room overlooking the river, plus sauna and hot pot outside.

Grenlækur is the perfect location for small groups looking for fishing with a comfortable, private lodge as a base. It is an ideal combination with Breiddalsá, being situated about half-way between there and Reykjavik.
