Fishing in Iceland - Salmon fishing in Iceland
Iceland provides a unique setting for the sportsman with its bleak and often
haunting scenery, nearly bereft of trees and littered in part with volcanic

30th of September and the trout fishing season starts April 1st and runs
through the 20th of October.

The Reykjavik Angling Club has a variety of trout and salmon fishing permits
