Anglers from all across the world arrive in Iceland each
summer to cast in their line and fish the open beats of
Iceland’s free-flowing rivers. Then they go home and
dream about their fishing adventures.
Now anglers can relive the sensation of standing in a rush
of glacial water, shadowed by a volcanic mountain, as sil-
very salmon carve upstream, by paging through
Flyfishing In Iceland, a new book by Loftur Atli Eiríksson,
an avid angler and veteran journalist, with photos by
Lárus Karl Ingason, one of Iceland’s leading photogra-
phers.
Flyfishing In Iceland takes readers on a poetic and pic-
turesque journey through Iceland’s majestic lakes and
rivers. Along with stunning photographs of the country’s
untamed nature, the book returns the angler back to the
waters of this last refuge for wild Atlantic salmon.
“Fly-fishing is just one way to explore nature,” says
Loftur Atli. True, and his captivating book is one way to
explore the natural wonders awaiting anglers in Iceland.
