Fly Fishing in
Iceland 🇮🇸

Yes it can be cold in Iceland, there are lots of stories with 'ice on the line'. But the summer months are doable to very pleasant. And the fly fishing can be very rewarding. You won't believe the size of the brown trouts you can catch in the lakes until you see the pictures...

And one thing that many don't realize until they're in Iceland: the landscape is beautifully unique due to Iceland essentially being one big vulcano so make sure to take in the scenery as well!
