Urriðafoss fisning

Urriðafoss waterfall is one of the country´s well known natural pearls that combines calmness and power in a magnificent way. Urriðafoss has impressed the country´s anglers after angling began in 2017 and is one of Iceland top fishing spots in salmon catch per rod. Until 2017, the land owner had fished with nets for years, but the oldest fishing log is from 1932. Urriðafoss is very special, as the river is completely sustainable and boasts the largest wild salmon population in the country.
