2021 in photos Thingvallavatn and surroundings

With the fishing season here in Iceland being closed there is not much to do than tie some flies and look over photos from the season. We started a few days ago with photos from our main Sea-Run brown trout rivers, but now we’re gonna take a look at our Lake Thingvallavatn and surrounding beats Kárastaðir, Villingavatnsárós, Villingavatnsárós beat B, Kaldárhöfði, and surrounding areas Villingavatn, Efri-Bru, and the spring char fishing in Þrastalundur.
