2021 in photos – The Highlands

The rugged interior of Iceland offers some of the finest resident fishing anywhere. Be it sight fishing for wild and native Char and Browns in Kaldakvísl and Tungnaá, throwing streamers in Norðlingafljót, endless exploring and hiking around the Northern Highlands and Ófærur or lake fishing in Fellsendavatn, Dómadalsvatn, Kvíslaveitur or any of the hundreds of other lakes and lagoons in the Highlands. All fishermen should find something to their taste when fishing the Highlands.

In part 3 of our look at 2021 in photos, we will take a look at the Highlands.
