I can’t help answer your question, sorry.
But about 20 years ago, while visiting a friend on the base in Keflavik, we did a charter for a few hours. We caught so many fish it was ridiculous.
My bag on the flight home weighed a ton, filled with frozen fish.
Good luck!

I heard they ice fish for sharks there. That’s pretty sweet.
Hopefully you hammer ‘em! Char would be fun.

On my bucket list Apparently they have some of the largest brown trout. Definitely want to check it out someday

A fly fishing programme in the UK just finished, they caught some huge fish (it was all catch and release) and it raised my interest until I saw the prices, I believe it is all private, but I might be wrong.

The way I read it is that all rivers are private, and expensive, and about 35 lakes are open to public fishing with proper licensing.

I've never been, but there was a guy and his wife from the area who drowned fishing in Iceland 2 years ago. His wife slipped in the fast current and he went in after her. Sad story.
