Laxá í Dölum, Iceland – 21st–24th July 2026

We have just one rod remaining on the renowned Laxá í Dölum for a three-day salmon fishing trip from 21st–24th July 2026.

Located in West Iceland, Laxá í Dölum is widely regarded as one of the country’s most consistent medium-sized Atlantic salmon rivers. Flowing through a picturesque valley of lava formations, rolling hills and classic salmon pools, the river offers anglers an authentic Icelandic salmon fishing experience with excellent chances of encountering fresh-run fish throughout the season.

The timing of this trip falls during one of the most productive periods of the year, when strong runs of Atlantic salmon are entering the river and fish can be found throughout the beats. The river is renowned for its variety of water, featuring everything from intimate holding pools and glides to classic runs that suit both floating line techniques – especially hitching.

Fishing is conducted on a rotational basis, allowing anglers access to a wide selection of productive pools and ensuring water is rested regularly. Whether you prefer fishing traditional hitch tubes, small surface flies or more conventional salmon patterns, Laxá í Dölum offers exciting and varied sport in stunning surroundings.

Accommodation is provided in comfortable riverside lodging, creating the perfect base from which to enjoy both the fishing and the spectacular Icelandic landscape.

For anglers seeking a genuine Icelandic Atlantic salmon adventure during peak season, this represents an excellent opportunity to fish one of the country’s most respected rivers.
