This is a big soup with a big name, leaving no room for compromise when it is cooked. There is butter and cream and alcohol. The extra calories are compensated for, however, since the salmon and vegetables are fresh and very wholesome, not to mention the extra invigoration stemming from unspoiled nature, fresh air and a long hard day's fishing.

Simple is good - I really like the taste of that expression and very often it turns out to be solid truth when it comes to salmon fishing and salmon flies. The blue steel fly is a swimming witness of that.

Varmá is located in only 30 min drive from Reykjavik, which makes it ideal for visitors that have limited time to fish but want to experience some good trout fishing for a day.

Dear friends!
Soon the cold autumn wind will sweep over Europe and a long dark period will cover us for the next 4 to 6 month. For some of us this period can be like a never ending walk in the desert - Fishing rods stored away and the only thing to boost the spirit is the ginclear fishing-memories from the past season - Oh and of course some pulse-raising fantasies of heavy rod pulling trips in the season to come!
