North-west Iceland

Miðfjarðará Lodge (Laxahvammur, Húnaþing)

FreshwaterMiðfjarðará, Austurá, Vesturá and Núpsá — Miðfjörður, Húnaþing vestra

Between six and ten rods rotate through five beats on the Miðfjarðará in Húnaþing, north-west Iceland, and its three tributaries, with more than 220 named pools between them. Fishing is with floating lines, small flies and hitch tubes, and each rod gets its own en-suite room at Laxahvammur, a renovated ten-room lodge. This is a different river from the small Miðfjarðará in Bakkafjörður.
