This river offers 28kms of fishing from 55 pools – and it is a truly wild, rugged river in North-East Iceland.
Hafralonsá is best suited to those who are fit and adventurous, as it has some stunning but deep canyons – which require some strong wading. Its appeal is the number of rods on the river, its beauty, and the size of the fish, some weighing in the late teens.
The salmon’s journey ends at the top waterfall or the waterfall on the stunning tributary, the Kverka.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or planning your first fishing trip, our team is here to make it unforgettable.

Anglers are welcome at the lodge from 3 pm on the day of arrival. On the last fishing day, anglers are asked to depart the lodge by 1:30 pm. Please adhere to this schedule to ensure smooth operations.
Daily fishing hours are from 9 AM to 1 PM and from 4 PM to 8 PM. Anglers are permitted a maximum of two 4-hour sessions onthe river each day. On the departure date, fishing will conclude at 12 PM.
All of our rivers are designated as fly fishing only. Other types of equipment, such as spinning rods, are not permitted. We fish with floating lines exclusively, and the use of sinking tips, sinking lines, weighted flies, and weighted tubes is prohibited. Two people may share a single rod, but they must stay together on the river while fishing. All catches must be recorded in the logbook at the lodge.
All salmon must be released. Injured salmon will be given the benefit of the doubt, unless your guide advises otherwise. If a salmon cannot be saved, it should be brought to the lodge and given to the kitchen.
The maximum catch per rod is two salmon per pool and four salmon per session.
