FreshwaterVatnamót, Fossálar, Geirlandsá and lower Skaftá — Kirkjubæjarklaustur

This renovated farmhouse beside the Fossálar, near Kirkjubæjarklaustur in south-east Iceland, sleeps ten in four twin and two single rooms. In spring and autumn, twelve rods rotate between three rivers of the Skaftá system, the Vatnamót, Fossálar and Geirlandsá, for sea-run brown trout, with two guided days on each and one guide per two anglers. All fishing is fly only and catch and release, and a summer program starting in 2027 reaches the lower Skaftá by hovercraft.
