GENERAL INFORMATION
Location: Iceland is an island in the North Atlantic, approximately 103,000 km˛ ( 38,000 square miles) in size. With a population of just over a quarter of a million inhabitants it is the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Two-thirds of the population live in and around the capital, Reykjavík, and the rest of the country is little coastal communities, mountains and claciers, plains and valleys, lava fields and hot springs, and plenty of choice for salmon and trout fishing.
Regular frequent international flights are operated by several carrier´s to most major airports in Europe and North America , many of them daily. We recommend low fair airliner Iceland Express at web-side www.icelandexpress.com.
Most international flights
arrive at and depart from Keflavík in the soutwest, 45 minutes drive from
Reykjavík. Domnestic air services operate several times a day to various
parts of the country. All rivers are accessable along local roads linked
to the main road which runs right around Iceland.
Clothing/weather: The Icelandic summer is generally mild but since the weather can be very changeable, anglers should bring warm, waterproof and windproof clothes with them. The are no mosquitoes in Iceland.
Disinfection: Iceland has always been free of UDN and other freshwater diseases, and maintains a strict disinfection policy towards tackle brought by visiting anglers. Visitors can have their tackle disinfected by local vets, and obtain a certificate to prove the fact, before leaving for Iceland, or have their equipment disinfected by officials on arriving at Keflavík airport.

Taking fish back home: Anglers are offered the option to trade their fresh fish for smoked or pickled salmon (graflax) since it is convinient for the travel back home. We are also pleased to arrange for catches to be smoked, frozen or packed fresh and will ship it to anglers who do not want to take it back personally. |
