Sea angling trips are a few hours out of Reykjavik harbour, catching cod, haddock and other local species. Rods, bait and warm outer gear are usually included.
River and lake fishing for trout or salmon often needs a permit specific to that water, which a guide will sort out or include in the tour price.
Salmon fishing has a defined season, roughly June to September, and permits on well-known rivers can be limited and priced accordingly. Trout fishing runs more broadly through the warmer months.
Dress warmly for sea trips regardless of the season, it is colder on open water than on land.
No, most sea angling and many river fishing tours provide rods and tackle. Check the specific tour if you plan to bring your own.
Freshwater fishing requires a permit for the specific river or lake, which guided tours typically arrange or include.
Mainly cod and haddock on Reykjavik sea angling trips, sometimes other local species depending on the season.
Roughly June to September. Popular rivers can be booked well ahead, so plan early if salmon fishing is the goal.
Yes, guides instruct as you go, and sea angling in particular needs no prior experience.
