MINNIVALLALAEKUR

Meandering through farmland at the foothills of Mt Hekla, the 7km Minnivallalaekur River, or ‘Minni’, is a dry-fly angler’s dream. The Minni is a quality over quantity fishery; wild brown trout average 3-4lbs, with double figure fish caught each season.  

As the Icelandic summers are short, the trout need to gorge when food is plentiful. July is typically prime time for dry fly sport. You will aim to spot fish before making a cast; observation and strategising is key, as the trout can be spooky and highly selective.  

The Minni is a four-rod river, which you will have exclusive use of during your stay.  

Accommodation is in a comfortable lodge that overlooks one of the best pools on the river. There are three twin bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, sitting room and veranda with a hot tub. 

Suggested Package: 5 nights on room only, 5 days’ fishing and car hire.
