Fishing is a popular sport in Iceland. Anglers will be pleasantly surprised at the large variety of rivers and lakes located in the lowlands and the expansive uninhabited highlands. There are endless opportunities for fishing enthusiasts. Wild brown trout and arctic char are the favourites for game fishing. Atlantic salmon and other species of trout and char are also very much sought after. The fishing season in Iceland starts in April and ends in mid September, though a few salmon rivers remain open till end of October. Fishing permits are required for anyone who wants to fish in Iceland. Salmon fishing permits have to be reserved in advance but trout fishing permits can be obtained at short notice. Fishing tours are also organised for anglers wanting to know the best spots for fishing in Iceland.
