Arnarvatnsheidi lakes & streams
 

The huge area known as Arnarvatnsheidi, is a vast highland moor lands, littered with lakes and interconnecting rivers and streams full of good size arctic char and brown trout. This is completely wild & uninhabited area, surrounded with large glaciers as well as one of the greatest lava fields in Iceland, containing two of the largest caves.

For the adventurous; this is the place to explore with almost endless opportunities for brown trout and arctic char fishing. The tracks require 4WD vehicles and some of the lakes (many hardly ever fished) also require serious walking to be visited.
In the past the lakes where considered uncountable.  

Ulfsvatn, the largest lake on the southern part of Arnarvatnsheidi is known for its stock of huge brown trout as well as for being full of good sized arctic char.
The prime time for Arnarvatnsheidi is June and July.
During the long bright evenings anglers can fish deep into the night. All night even.

Distance from the capital approx 250 km.
Open for fishing from June 15th until August
20th
