Midfjardará, Islandia
Midfjardará is the quintessential experience in Atlantic salmon fishing in Iceland. Located in north western, Iceland, the river runs 115 km from its source to its mouth. Four rivers make up the river system including the main river the Miðfjarðará, the Austurá, the Vesturá and the smaller more intimate Núpsá. Together they provide some of the finest Atlantic salmon fishing in the world. Of all of the rivers in Iceland which are completely wild (having no smolt release program), the Midfjardará is the most productive. It also happens to be one of Iceland’s best rivers for larger multi sea winter salmon.
The four rivers in the Midfjardará system provide extremely varied fly fishing in a total of 220 named pools. The emphasis of the management is on providing the best quality experience possible for visiting fishermen. Depending on the moment of the season fishing is limited to a maximum of 6 to 10 rods. The large amount of water included in the rotations assures that fishing pressure is limited and pools may be properly rested betweem fishermen. As a result, Midfjardará salmon tend to be surprisingly aggressive throughout the season. Skating a hitched flies on the surface tends to produce fantastic results throughout most of the season.
