Nordurá

Fly fishing on the Nordurá is nothing short of exhilarating. With crystal clear waters, stunning views, and several species of incredible, powerful fish – the river has something for everyone. 

Whether you enjoy fishing smaller rods in the canyons to sighted fish, or prefer casting a longer line in the meadows on a slightly wider river, there is a great variety of fishing available.

Early season on the Nordurá is June and the river gets good runs of spring fish up to the late teens. Traditionally later on in July, as the grilse runs start to arrive, we see larger numbers of fish being landed. This is an extremely popular time to go; as casting over large pods of fresh fish with small hitch flies can often be about as exciting as it gets for many fly anglers.

The modern, purpose-built Nordurá Lodge is a superb place for anglers to stay whilst fishing these fantastic waters, and caters for up to 24 people.

Set on the banks of the river with views over the Laxfoss (waterfall) and the ancient volcano in the distance, the lodge consists of 12 twin rooms – including en suite bathrooms – as well as substantial living and dining areas. The lodge also features a sauna, hot tub and steam room, perfect for relaxing and recharging after a long day out on the water. 

The Lodge also has a wading room with boot dryers, rod racks and resident guides.

The Nordourá Lodge features a rotation of Reykjavik’s top chefs serving a combination of regional and international dishes.

A buffet-style cooked breakfast and selection of hot and cold drinks is served every morning before anglers set out, while lunch can either be eaten back at the lodge or packed and taken out onto the water.

Dinner is served as an ever-changing set menu back at the lodge each evening, followed by drinks at the bar and a chance to share the day’s adventures with fellow anglers.
