About the river Hrutafjardara river is an excellent 3 rod river in the north of Iceland. It is one of Iceland’s better known rivers. It has tended to be up and down, but a smolt releasing program has made the river far more consistent and it turns in above average seasons year after year despite sometimes being hit by very low water conditions. Each season the river may be expected to produce 400 to 600 salmon on the three daily rods with the river offering the option of some big sea char in the bottom pools of the river, if the salmon are slow from time to time.
 Hrutafjardara is a beautiful river The lodge Hrutafjardarar’s lodge is close to the mouth of the river. It is cozy and comfortable. In recent years it has been a bit small, although sufficient. Last year however, there was added space. An extra room, a heating room for waders and a bigger veranda with hot tup. The lodge was refurbished and is now of far better quality than before.
Flies For the salmon the hitch and smaller flies work very well. Also patterns like Frances, Black & Blue, Collie Dog and other salmon patterns.
 Nice salmon caught in Hrutafjardara Tackle The Hrutafjardara river is a relatively small river so a single handed rod is recommended. Preferably size 5-8.
Catch rates The 2009 season was a record season with 647 salmon caught. On average the river produces about 500-600 salmon on the 3 rods each year. Booking and more info E-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it Tel: +354 867 5200 |
