The phrase "Fly Fishing"
Fluguveiði
Yes it can be cold in Iceland, there are lots of stories with 'ice on the line'. But the summer months are doable to very pleasant. And the fly fishing can be very rewarding. You won't believe the size of the brown trouts you can catch in the lakes until you see the pictures...
And one thing that many don't realize until they're in Iceland: the landscape is beautifully unique due to Iceland essentially being one big vulcano so make sure to take in the scenery as well!
Fish was vital to the survival of the early settlers, as there was not much else to eat.
Curated locations, both guided and non-guided:
Do you have a location you want to share? Let us know.
You would probably go to Iceland to fly fish for a few specific species that are on your list, not a very broad variety. If you're not sure yet which, how about some legendarily, insanely large brown trout?
The winter months are definitely cold, but during the summer the fishing is very doable. Note that these temperatures are for Reykjavik, and in other parts of the Island (especially further North) it can be colder.
These are the guides in Iceland that can help you exlore new waters and learn new skills.
