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.
