Hvannadalsa is one of our new rivers
on the West Coast of Iceland, a beautiful and remote place. In 2005-2007 about 160 salmon has been caught yearly to 2 rods in a short season.
In the spring 2007 we made a great effort in releasing smolts, we released 25.000 smolts, which producted 327 salmon in 2008.

The river is delightful to fish with the fly and the surrounding country side is unique, here you are alone with Iceland.

From Ardalsfljot pool , here you will see salmon jumping a lot.

Ideal combination:
 The Hvannadalsá combines with anyone of our fine rivers provided you don't mind a few hours drive through breathtaking scenery.  Laugardalsá and Langadalsá are close to Hvannadalsá.  Few days in Bjarnafjardara trout fishing, would also be ideal.

Hvannadalsá shares the river mouth with Langadalsá, still it has considerably more water then her sister, Langadalsá.  The salmon in Hvannadalsá is known to be husky and thick - great fighters.

The lodge is self catering , but has all the facilities for cooking.  In addition to the salmon fishing one can catch a good deal of sea-trout in the river mouth around the tides.

Hvannadalsa is gin clear , you can spot Salmon in most of the places from rocks and on the edge of the canyons. The Salmon is shy so you have to be very careful!

We release normally 3000 - 4000 smolts yearly on the Hvanndalsa, in 2007 we reased 25.000 smolts from the river origin, which produced 327 salmon in 2008.  This year we released the same number so we should expect at least the same catch but probably more.

26.4.2010 : Wow, Loop has done it again!

This Evotec rod is sure to become a hit and an all time favourite! I must admit that I haven't had a better #6 rod in my hands - ever. And I've tried so many. This rod is just great at both close range and at 90 ft+. And it performs so beautifully with snake rolls and underhand casts aswell. The Opti Stillwater line is a perfect match for the 696.

22.4.2010 : LAX-A IS BOOKING RUSSIA'S TOP RANKED PONOI RIVER FOR ONLY A SINGLE WEEK IN 2010.

ONLY TWO RODS REMAIN TO JOIN ME AT THE RENOWED BREVYENi CAMP JUNE 26 - JULY 3. Here is your chance to fish the finest salmon water in the world and lodge at the famed Brevyeni Camp at the same time. Brevyeni is considered by many to be the finest of all Russian lodges and will fish only 8 rods each housed in individual charming log cabins on the banks of this great river. I fished the Brevyeni Camp in June of 2008 and can tell you straight up,it was the best fishing I have ever experienced in 25 years of chasiong the king of fish around the world. I will be back at Brevyeni once again in just a few more weeks and I am as excited about returning as I was on my first ever trip to this high tundra wilderness wonderland. You can literally fish around the clock under the midnight sun but I'm sure you will find the fishing so damn good there will be no need to bust your butt building numbers. Everyone catches lots of salmon and some big brutes in the mix to boot. The lodging is unexcelled for wilderness accomodation, the guides speak good English and are both personalble and knowledgeable. The food is great, the vodka chilled and the ambiance spellbinding. This is a fantastic opportunity to capture a dream of a lifetime. I can't wait to return. Give me a call with any questions you may have and hopefully grab one of the last two spots in 2010 on the Ponoi. Time is running out. Lots to do to get ready.
