A Hidden Gem in the Highlands – The river Kaldakvísl is truly a hidden gem. Fished only by a select few, Kaldakvísl has now been made exclusively available only to the customers of Fish Partner. Words are unequal to the task of describing the landscape’s beauty. Diversity and contrasts are the river’s main characteristics.
The Northern Highlands
The Northern Highlands – Upper Blanda area
For the first time in decades the area above Blöndulón reservoir, in the Northern Highlands, is available on the market and now exclusively to Fish Partner’s customers.
We are excited to introduce this newest fishery which is south of Blöndulón reservoir and consists of all the rivers flowing into the upper Blanda river and the reservoir. There are six main rivers in the area and several smaller creeks. Access to the rivers is limited and fishermen must hike along the rivers while fishing. Nature is untouched and wild and in the Northern Highlands, you can truly experience the exclusivity and the feeling of being alone in the world.
The rivers hold brown trout and Arctic char and are ideal for nymphing, dry-fly, and streamer fishing.
