Hunt trophy brown trout across 30 kilometres of pristine Icelandic river. A private fly fishing expedition on the legendary West Rangá, where ten pound catches are more than mere legend.
There is a river in southern Iceland where the brown trout grow wild and heavy, where anglers speak in reverent tones of ten pound catches and waters that have never been tamed. The West Rangá Trout Beat stretches across 30 kilometres of double bank fishing, a landscape of flat pools, hidden pockets and fast water runs that demand both patience and precision. This is not a tour for casual observers. This is a private expedition into one of Iceland’s most storied fishing grounds, where the chance of landing a truly remarkable brown trout becomes something closer to destiny. In autumn, Atlantic salmon enter the system, adding another layer of possibility to waters already rich with potential. Your day begins with collection from Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive south to the river near Hella. A dedicated guide will lead you through up to eight hours of fly fishing, reading the water alongside you and placing you where the fish are holding. All gear is provided, from rods to waders to flies, and a riverside lunch keeps you fuelled through the long hours of casting. When the light begins to soften and the day draws to a close, you will return to the capital carrying stories that fellow anglers will want to hear.
