Ásgarður – Sog

Sog River

The river Sog (more commonly Sogið) is a river in the southwest of Iceland. It runs from Lake Þingvallavatn for 21.9 kilometers (13.6 mi) to its confluence with the river Hvítá, forming the river Ölfusá which then runs for another 25 km into the Atlantic Ocean. A large river by Icelandic standards, its average discharge is 110 m3/s (3,900 cu ft/s).
Historically the Sog was one of the best Atlantic Salmon rivers in Iceland, but years of poor management led to dwindling numbers of salmon. In recent years, with the introduction of catch and release practices, the river has seen a slow but steady improvement. Although the Atlantic salmon tend to be the main prize sought by anglers fishing the river it also holds a good number of Arctic Char, resident Brown Trout, and Sea-run Brown trout.

Is a 3-rod, 5.6km beat that historically is the most productive salmon beat on the river. The Asgard beat in the river Sog is well known for large salmon,  ideal for fly fishing, floating lines, and riffling hitch works very well. As well as excellent Salmon fishing the beat offers also has a healthy population of Arctic Char.
