The Midfjardara
The River

In the northern part of Iceland runs one of the finest salmon rivers you will find, the Mišfjaršarį”. A 115 km long river system that is based on 4 rivers. The main river the Mišfjaršarį, the Austurį, the Vesturį and the small Nśpsį.

There are over 220 named pools on the whole system and we only fish with 6 to 10 rods depending on the time of the season. Anglers will have enough space to fish and the pools are well rested between fishermen to keep the fishing pressure down. The Mišfjaršarį is well known for aggressive fish that most often tend to take surface flies, no matter the time of the season.

The Mišfjaršara is one of the best salmon rivers in Iceland with the average catch of around 1500 salmon per year. The 2009 season was unique in catches as we landed 4004 salmon in the 90 day season..

Our studies show that the Mišfjaršarį has a growing number of par in all the 4 rivers and a really healthy natural stock of salmon. There are no smolt releasing programs on our rivers and we tend to keep it that way... Wild is the future.
