River Holaa - Lake
Laugarvatn
River Holaa – Lake Laugarvatn is a combined fishery situated in
the southern part of Iceland, approximately a one-hour drive
east of Reykjavík, midway between
Thingvellir National Park
and the
Geysir
-
Gullfoss
area.
This productive fishery, involving both the river and the lake, is
supporting wild arctic char and brown trout. The fish are of all
sizes, but the most common size range is 0,5 kg up to 1 kg, but
1,5 kg up to 2,5 kg fish are not uncommon at all.
The River Holaa
– Lake Laugarvatn fishery is beautifully surrounded and the lush
vegetation along the banks as well as the rich birdlife is joy
to watch.
River Holaa is ideally suited for upstream nymphing, dry fly
fishing as well as for fishing with streamers. Both the river
and the lake are relatively easy to fish and suitable for both
the experienced fishermen and beginners alike. The river and the
lake are fished entirely from the banks or by wading. Most of
the lies can be covered easily with single handed fly rods.
Spinning is also allowed.
