Iceland Fly Fishing

[bigbassin]

Planning a trip with a buddy to do some fly fishing in Iceland this coming year. We’d plan on one week. Probably 1-2 days guided, 2-3 days solo. 2 days just sightseeing. Cheaper the better, i think it can be done on 3k easy but less is more in this category.

Thinking June time frame at the moment, but no issue making a change on this if another time of the year will be more productive.

Interested in any and all advice or recommendations y’all can provide. Specific guides to use/avoid, regions of the country to be looking at, can’t miss sights, favorite local food items, areas to avoid, tips to save money, etc.

I'm no help but that sounds like an amazing trip.

Aren't they having a volcano alert or something right now?

Does look like an amazing trip! I was curious about sport fishing in Iceland, lots of good info on their website. But I did notice that there are restrictions on bringing your own fishing gear into the country. Seems as if a veterinarian has to disinfect your tackle before it’s admitted into the country.

What kind of fish are you targeting? Fly fishing Iceland is something that had never occurred to me.
