Laxá in Aðaldal is a renowned salmon river most famous for it’s large multi winter salmon. If you’ve come to Iceland to try to catch a 20 lbs + salmon this is the right place to be. The river is fairly large on Icelandic standards and most often fished with a double handed rod. The average catch per year is around 1600 salmon although the numbers have declined in the last few years.
