Fisheries
The Blanda is one of Iceland’s top Atlantic Salmon fisheries.
This exclusive river, limited to four rods, invites anglers to explore its 20-kilometer pristine(13 miles), crystal-clear water. With a remarkable ten-year average of around 300 Atlantic salmon annually
A Hidden Gem in the Highlands – The river Kaldakvísl is truly a hidden gem. Fished only by a select few, Kaldakvísl has now been made exclusively available only to the customers of Fish Partner. Words are unequal to the task of describing the landscape’s beauty. Diversity and contrasts are the river’s main characteristics.

Sight-fishing in gin clear water – Tungnaá is a formerly milky glacial river that became gin clear in 2013 as a consequence of a newly opened hydro-electric power plant. The new plant transformed this formerly rough, dark river into a fascinating crystal-clear stream, flowing into beautiful miniature canyons as well as more traditional pools filled with both Ice Age brown trout and big arctic char.
The Most Scenic Beat in Lake Thingvallavatn – The Kárastaðir beat (Beat 1) is in the north end of Lake Thingvallavatn where river Öxará, the brown trout’s main spawning stream, runs into the lake. The giant trout travels in groups and is often found circling around the beat where fishermen can run into great adventures.
A hidden gem – Despite being small, Lake Villingavatn is the home to some very large brown trout. From the lake a small stream runs into lake Thingvallavatn, connecting the two lakes and allowing the Thingvallavatn trout to enter the lake when the creek floads.

Testimonials
Everything was as good as it gets except the weather was a bit unfriendly a few days. FishPartner handled all the details. Lodging, food were fine. Fishing guide Mats was superlative and the fishing and fish made for lifelong memories.
I'm going back in 2022! That's how good it was.
I fished lake Thingvallavatn in May 2022 with Fish Partner. This was my first trip with Fish Partner and I was very impressed, they think of everything to make your trip both successful and enjoyable. I will definitely be booking with them again next year.
My wife and I have had the pleasure of fishing with FishPartner since 2015. We will be joining them in the Fall for our 9th time. There really is no need to say more than that, but here are some specifics: The folks at FishPartner are top notch guides and know the waters they fish. They have lots of rivers and lakes under lease, which allows for great access, and they are able to access lots of waters that they are not leasing (note: fishing virtually anywhere in Iceland requires a permit - that’s just they way it is. The advantage is that you never need to worry about someone “stealing” you spot if you move. The downside is that once you have reserved a “beat” on the river or lake, you are pretty much locked in). One of the things that convinced us to go to Iceland in the first place was the enthusiasm they had for guiding a woman. Despite my wife’s 20 years experience she is always a bit self conscious when she fishes with a guide for the first time. The folks at FishPartner were very accommodating right from the start, and she was relaxed and focused on catching those beautiful Icelandic Browns and Char very quickly.In addition to arranging excellent lodging for us at some of their very convenient properties, FishPartner has also acted as a tour guide for us on numerous occasions. It is a bit surreal to go sightseeing at 9pm in the summertime, let me tell you.FishPartner is “based” in Reykjavik, generally speaking, but they have guided us all over Iceland. If there is a part of Iceland you would like to see or fish, I am confident that they can arrange it for you.In summary, my wife and I HIGHLY recommend the fine folks at FishPartner.
