The Iceland Fishing Card 2025

The Fishing Card, known as Veiðikortið, is an excellent choice for fishing enthusiasts and their families. It provides a convenient and cost-effective way to explore Iceland’s incredible fishing opportunities. With the Fishing Card, you gain nearly unlimited access to 36 fishing lakes across Iceland. Many of these locations also offer free camping. That makes it a perfect option for those who want to combine fishing with outdoor adventures.

One of the biggest advantages of the Fishing Card is the ease it provides. Anglers can stop at beautiful lakes for a short visit or an extended stay without needing to worry about purchasing permits or checking if the lakes are well-stocked. Everything is taken care of, allowing you to focus on enjoying your fishing experience.

The Fishing Card has been a trusted companion for anglers in Iceland for over two decades. Since its introduction, it has been warmly received by locals and visitors alike. Thanks to this consistent support, it has been possible to maintain and expand access to some of the best stillwater fishing locations in the country.

When you purchase the Fishing Card, you’ll receive a comprehensive booklet filled with useful information. The booklet, primarily in Icelandic, includes detailed descriptions of the fishing areas, rules, maps, and photographs. It also provides GPS coordinates and Google Maps links to help you easily locate each lake. For international visitors, basic information in English is included to ensure accessibility.
