Lake Dómadalsvatn
The lake is located in the northernmost part of the valley Dómadalur in the Highlands. The lake is part of a lake cluster called Framvötn and lies at 566 meters above sea level. It’s a small lake at only about 0.2 km² but holds a large quantity of brown trout. The most common size of catches is around 1lbs – 2lbs but there are bigger fish in the lake and quite a few are caught every season.
Streamer fishing tends to be the most effective but during mid-summer nymph and dry fly fishing kicks in with increased hatches.

Fishing is allowed in the whole lake
