GREAT SEASON COMES TO AN END
|
The season of 2005 has now come to an end and what a season we have had! Overall the season was a record season for Iceland, eclipsing the year of 1978 by several thousand salmon. |

GREAT RUNS ON THE HRÚTA – HUGE FISH ON THE NES BEATS
|
Some of Icelands biggest salmon have been caught on our Nes-Árnes beats on the big Laxá í Aðaldal over the past few days. One measured 110 cm and was weighed in the landing net at 11,5 kilos – 23 Icelandic pounds. |

MAIN RIVERS IN STARK HARMONY
|
Our two main salmon rivers, the Breiðdalsá and the Hrútafjarðará have been in stark harmony recently, at the start of the week they had both produced 170 salmon! |

Here are a few recent news items
|
There is a mini media storm raging in Iceland due to the fact that a suspicious looking salmon was caught in the Breiðdalsá last week. It certainly looks like an escapee from a salt water pen. Scale samples have been sent to the Board of Fresh Water Fisheries in Iceland were it will be determined what the origin of this fish actually is. |

SALMON RIVERS ON DUE COURSE
|
Our salmon rivers are doing quite well. They are late starters and should be moving into their prime any day now. But so far so good and it looks like they will all be their moneys worth this season. |

11 POUND BROWN TROUT FROM GRENLÆKUR
|
Our excellent trout beat on the Grenlækur has been producing brilliantly so far, as predicted. The sea trout are not yet in bar the odd fish here and there, but resident brown trout and the rivers huge sea char have been in great numbers. |

SELÁ OFF TO A GOOD START
|
A news item from the east coast. Our most recent river, the Selá í Álftafirði, has gotten off to a good start. This litle known river (so far) is fished with two rods amidst the typical beautiful scenery of the Eastern Fiords. |

GREAT START AT THE NES-ÁRNES BEATS
|
We have had a great start to the Nes-Árnes beats on the big Laxá í Aðaldal. There had been some activity in the early days then when our first clients arrived and fished over the weekend things hotted up considerably. |
 |
3. July 2005
|
Our salmon beats have opened and despite a huge spate in the aestern rivers, things are looking good, as they tend to drop as fast as they grow in the torrential rain. We have glowing reports from all our major beats. |

2005 SEASON STARTS WELL!
|
The salmon and trout season of 2005 has got off to an excellent start giving hope that it will be even better than last year which was in fact one of the best for years in Iceland. Our salmon rivers are for the most part late starters yet the Nes-Árnes beats of the “big” Laxá up north open up on June 20th and there were fish already up there, which is considered unusual these past few years with the June-catch being mostly big brown trout. |

HUGE SEA TROUT IN TUNGULÆKUR
|
One of our groups had a tremendous two and a half days on the renowned Tungulækur last week. Among the 92 sea trout landed, the largest was a massive 92 cm cock fish caught by Sarah Ingram Hill in the pool Faxinn. Sarah's monster is the biggest in Iceland during the spring season so far. |

Dear Angler,
| As we approach the new season there are some opportunities still to sample some of Iceland's top fishing - be it for salmon, sea-trout, wild brown trout or sea-run Arctic char. Iceland is well-known for it's sensational salmon fishing, but I want to impress upon you that the trout fishing is also of the highest standard. |
Best regards,
Þröstur
