Home to a healthy sea-run brown trout and Atlantic salmon fishery, Iceland's rivers and streams are exceptionally managed to limit fishing pressure utilizing a classical beat system. Some programs in Iceland provide anglers with some gear, but anglers are encouraged to bring their own gear. If you're in need of an effective layering system, rod and reel combination, or a fresh line for swinging flies, we have a full-selection of gear perfect for this destination.

Floating lines for both trout and salmon are almost always used, but a light sink tip (150-200 grain) or interchangeable head can be used as well.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
Felt-soled boots are illegal in Iceland so anglers should bring rubber boots.
