About the river

The salmon beat in Huseyjarkvisl river is divided in two with one rod in each beat. The top beat consists of the falls pool at Reykjafoss waterfall and several other very nice pools that each hold a lot of salmon. The lower salmon beat consists of a few more pools all the way down to where the lodge is located and the trout beat starts.

Tackle

The river is not very wide so two handed rods are not necessary but if preferred that is alright. Recommended are single handed rods weight #6- #9. Sometimes conditions call for sink tip lines and/or weighted tubes so they should be brought.

Flies

Small double hook salmon flies work particularly well in Huseyjarkvisl as well as the hitch technique. The Snaelda tube fly, Sun Ray shadow and Frances in several colors also work very well.

Catch rates

Annually the average catch rates are about 200 salmon on the two rods.
