Discover Brúará: A Fly-Fishing Paradise in Iceland
Nestled in the heart of Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes, the Brúará River flows with both beauty and opportunity. Originating in the pristine Laugardalsfjöll mountains and winding its way gracefully for over 40 kilometers, this spring-fed river promises an unforgettable fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels.
Why Fish Brúará?
Imagine casting your line into crystal-clear waters surrounded by untouched wilderness. The Brúará River is a sanctuary for Arctic char and brown trout, with a sprinkling of Atlantic salmon later in the season. While the average fish weighs between 1-2 pounds, the river occasionally rewards its visitors with something far larger—a true trophy for the avid angler.
The Hagaós beat, a 4-kilometer stretch shared with the tranquil Hólá River, is a particular gem. Known for its prolific Arctic char, this area attracts fly-fishers seeking action-packed days amidst serene, scenic surroundings. Whether you’re perfecting your nymphing technique or savoring the thrill of a dry fly take, Brúará has something to offer everyone.
Seasons and Secrets
The fishing season at Brúará runs from April through September, offering months of potential adventure. Fly, lure, and bait fishing are all welcome here, but conservation-minded practices are encouraged—release those magnificent Arctic char over 50 cm and give salmon a second chance to thrive. This balance ensures the river remains a haven for generations of anglers to come.
Brúará Fly Fishing is More Than Just Fishing
Fishing Brúará is as much about the experience as it is about the catch. Located just an hour’s drive from Reykjavík, the river is easy to reach yet feels worlds away from the bustle of modern life. After a day on the water, unwind in a nearby guesthouse or cozy summer cabin, letting the tranquil surroundings complete your Icelandic adventure.
