Regulated to limit pressure to only two anglers at a time, the Hölkná is a medium-sized river that gives guests access to an eight-mile stretch of gin-clear water. Anglers will fish 27 marked pools and a good number of unmarked pools. Most of the water can be fished well with a 9’ 7 single-hand rod. However, there is a benefit to having a smaller two-handed to cover more water effectively and efficiently. Casting distance averages 40 to 60 feet, and all swing techniques are used—riffle hitch, skated dry flies, tubes, micro tubes, and more. The salmon average 7 pounds, and the largest can be 20+ pounds. Our guides are world-class, extremely knowledgeable, and ready to share anything they know with you, from angling instruction to what life is like in Iceland.
