Eldvatn í Meðallandi

In our back yard runs river Eldvatn, catch & release fly fishing heaven. It is a 20km long water system filled with natural stock of the icelandic sea trout, brown trout, arctic char and salmon.

Prime time for fishing our river is from 1st-30th of april, 15th of august – 20th of october each year.

 

Eldvatn river translates as fire water river. It’s origin is deep in the Eldhraun lava field where 3 small creeks emerge gin clear after being filtered by the young lava field. The creeks combine into this amazing river and on it’s way to the ocean countless fresh water springs add water to the river. It is a fly fishing paradise offering pool sizes from wide 2 hander slow streams down to the smallest creeks where small trout rods is the perfect tool. The river is over 20km in total with the side creeks , with 10km where both banks can be fished , so in total over 30km of river bank.

 

We care about our environment and natural resources, the sea trout is a unique fish that has survived many natural disasters, for example the Laki eruption which , at the same time,  created their current home, the rivers flowing from the Eldhraun lava field.  Since we started taking care of river Eldvatn we allow only fly fishing, and all sea trout must be released again into the river.
