River Litlaa

 

Litlaa in Kelduhverfi is a springfed river that originally only came from a source called Brunnar, nearby the farm Keldunes. From the year 1976 it also gets water from the lake Skjalftavatn that was formed by a massive eartquake and subsidence during the Krafla eruption in 1976.

 

The abnormally high water temperature of approximately 12°C is derived from the combination of the warm source from Brunnar and the cold water from the lake, joining to produce the superb water qualities that supports what is arguably the best stocked sea trout river in Iceland.

The river also has a fine stock of stationary brown trout and some arctic char. There is also a good chance to catch a salmon later on in the season.

 

The Litlaa river allows "Fly fishing only" and "Catch and release" policies.

River Litlaa is divided into 6 areas and the entire riverbank is accessible to the limited number of 5 daily rods at any one time.

There is no fishing lodge at the riverside but many farmers in the vicinity offer self catering lodges and lodges where full service is provided.

Mostly all the fishing stretches are easily accessible. To access some of the nether stretches a 4x4 can be convenient.
