Fish Partner Wins Orvis-Endorsed International Destination of the Year

We are honored to announce that Fish Partner has been awarded the 2025 Orvis-Endorsed International Destination of the Year — a milestone that reflects the dedication of our entire team and the incredible anglers we have the privilege of hosting in Iceland each season.

The Orvis-Endorsed Awards celebrate excellence in the fly fishing world, and to receive this recognition from one of the most respected names in the industry is incredibly meaningful.

From our remote Highlands rivers to our full-service lodges like Battle Hill Lodge, The Highland Fishing Lodge, and Long Valley Lodge, every trip we create is built around adventure, authenticity, and world-class fishing. This award is a testament to that commitment — and to you, our guests, who’ve trusted us to deliver unforgettable days on the water.

We’d like to extend our deepest gratitude to our guides, lodge teams, local partners, and of course the passionate anglers who return year after year. You made this possible.

Here’s to many more casts, tight lines, and shared stories in Iceland.
