The Fly Shop® is not in the insurance business, but we recommend Travel Guard (AIG) and Global Rescue (IMG) coverage as a service with a desire to see your best interests protected. It is impossible to know when an unfortunate situation (loss of luggage, fly rods, illness in the family, or an accident) may occur. However, such things can and do happen, and this insurance can provide a means of recourse against non-refundable financial losses.

Stopovers anywhere else in Europe can be easily arranged.

You will need to arrange with your hotel in Reykjavik for the first night a shuttle to pick you up at the airport. You may also be able to take a taxi or Uber, but it is a good 45 minutes from the airport to downtown.

You will overnight that first night in Reykjavik and Fish Partners will pick you up around 10:00 AM the next morning to get you to the lodge around 2:00 PM for a light lunch and then head out fishing for a half day.

On your last day you will have breakfast at the lodge, then one of the staff will return you to Reykjavik. You can overnight in town and catch flights in the morning, or hop right on the red-eye home.

Please schedule all outbound flights at your convenience, but remember, booking flights too early in the afternoon will force you to depart in the early morning.

Updated with a clean style and modern amenities, the Battle Hill Lodge can sleep up to 10 guests in four twin rooms and two single rooms spread out over two floors, with two and a half bathrooms.

Roughly 1km from Ring Road no.1 this house is easy to get to, but also very isolated. While here you will be alone in the world to enjoy the sound of silence. The garden outside offers beautiful views.

Directly out your front door, you can view the Brunahraun lava field, which is protected and is part of a greater national park that is one of three UNESCO heritage sites in Iceland. If your eye continues further you can see the largest glacier in Europe, “Vatnajökull”, with a large cliff called “Lómagnúpur” between the two. To the east of the parking lot, you can take in the beauty of the land shaped by mighty forces of Icelandic nature, the area offers opportunities to experience the untouched majesty of the Icelandic highlands, picturesque mountains, thundering waterfalls, iconic canyons, as well as some of Iceland’s newest lava fields.

GEIRLANDSÁ
The river runs through the valley of Síða just east of the hamlet of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Its source is in “Geirlandsbotnar “about 500 meters above sea level. The river is roughly 22km (14 miles) and is home to two spectacular waterfalls, Fagrifoss and Hagafoss. The latter being the furthest upriver anadromous species can reach. From Hagafoss the river runs several miles through spectacular canyons that hold endless pools and runs to cast a fly into. To reach Hagafoss anglers must hike almost a mile up the canyon, which is only recommended for those in decent physical shape. Those that do will experience one of the most spectacular scenes found anywhere. Below the canyon section, the river meanders through gravel banks before being joined by the tributary river Stjórn. There the character of the river changes again, the bottom changes from gravel to sand, and the river name changes to Breiðbalakvísl. Although known for its large, both in size and numbers Sea-Run brown trout, Geirlandsá is also home to a decent number of Atlantic salmon. The river can both be fished effectively with a single and two-handed rod.

FOSSÁLAR
Fossálar is known for its amazing beauty, you will surely be mesmerized by the cacophony of cascades; some gently fall while others tumble and babbles actively down from the massive cliffs. It seems like a landscape painting and captivates the onlookers. This river is located amidst the lava field and falls with many smaller waterfalls. During the super-eruption of Laki in 1783, this lava field was created. It was considered one of the deadliest eruptions in history. Part of the Fossalar river is on the UNESCO’s natural heritage list, so you can imagine the beauty of the landscape in this area. Famous for its large, both in size and runs size, Sea-run brown trout in this river are highly thought of and sought. The roughly 15km (9.5mile) long fishery offers an amazing variety of pools and landscapes. Fossálar is a really challenging river and hard to read, that’s why the guides love to fish and guide it. The diversity of this river is just amazing.

VATNAMÓT
The fishery is huge, and is a junction where a few rivers combine before running into the great Skaftá River. Among the rivers are Fossálar, Geirlandsá and Hörgsá. The Vatnamót fishery has long been regarded as one of the best in Iceland for sea-trout. The fishing at Vatnamót is mainly made up of sea trout, and the fish there are famous for their size. Fish of 20 pounds and more are not uncommon and more often than not, the biggest sea trout caught each season come from the Vatnamót fishery. As well as sea trout, you’ll find healthy numbers of arctic char and salmon. All the Seatrout that run in the tributaries of the mighty Skaftá stops in Vatnamót before going to their home river. There’s a large number of pools and fishing spots at Vatnamót. The bottom mostly consists of sand and is ever-changing, so the fish are bound to move around. When at Vatnamót, the angler must be prepared to look for likely pools and runs. The area is easily accessible for the most part and it’s possible to drive right down to the bank in the lowest section and fish from it. For the upper sections you need to wade, it is not easy wading but the fishing is very exciting; like sight fishing the flats as it is shallow with new pockets appearing every day.
