Hrútafjarðará is an excellent
3 rod river in the north of Iceland known for
its great salmon fishing. Catches have tended to
be variable in the past, but our smolt-releasing
work has made the river far more consistent. The
average catch ranges between 400 and 600 (642 in
2009 - a new record), depending on water height
during the summer. There is also the bonus of
some excellent char fishing in the lower pools,
and these fish often run to 4lb and 5lb, or
more.
Hrúta has been very popular
over the years and sold out in advance. We have
limited openings and please get back to us soon
for information if interested to fish this
excellent river.
Hrúta’s comfortable lodge is
close is situated adjacent to the lower pools.
The interior is recently refurbished and
comprises four bedrooms, sitting room with nice
fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, a drying room
for waders, etc., and an extended veranda with a
hot tub.
