river
River Breiðdalsá is a beautiful medium-size river on the east coast, close to the small
village of Breiðdalsvík. It is fished by 6 to 8 rods on the main salmon beats and clients
stay at what is arguably one of the most beautiful fishing lodge in the country.

The Breiðdalsá fishing package actually consists
of two rivers. - The main river Breiðdalsá in then
the smaller contribution river Tinnudalsá.Bryggjuhylur on river Tinnudalsá
This is a big fish river system with mainly 2SW fish as well as some big 3SW.
Catch is up to 1.500 salmon in the three months the river is open for fishing.

Lease holder þröstur Elliðason with a typical
Breiðdalsá salmon. þröstur is a pioneer in
Iceland when it comes to making salmon
rivers. He “made” the West Rangá river.
Breiðdalsá has a good stock of salmon but
þröstur has helped the natural stock to
become even stronger.
Two different types of rivers with different character means good
variation in fishing technics. Light double hand rods on the main river
and single hands rods on Tinnudalsá. Switch rods covers all.
The pool Sveinshylur on river Breiðdalsá
In one pool you fish with the rifling hitch fly in the shallows for a spotted
10 kg/20lb + fish. The next pool, a weighted Frances fly is needed. It
sure is fun to get the go through the fly box over a days fishing here.
There is catch & release on all salmon over 70 cm.
This benefits the unique salmon stock and anglers who want to take some fish home.

Full service luxury lodge with private rooms with TV, jacuzzi, sauna and gourmet meals.
The lodge is available off season for office outing, corporate incentive trips or just exotic holidays
Late season fishing normally means no new runs of
salmon. In Breiðdalsá it is different. September nor-
mally produces up to 500 salmon with fresh fish caught
every day! Also the big salmon that entered the rivers
start to move again. Great value fishing at this time.

Yes why not? In September, the rivers welcomes anglers who prefer spinning rods. They can with suc-
cess get salmon out of the deaper holes. Both fly- and spinning anglers blend well here.
Spinning well controlled and supervised.
