Another fresh top the list for the Icelandic salmon rivers, we have some changes on the list this time around. Water, water everywhere! Yes autumn is upon us and it has rained cats and dogs every other day for the last two weeks resulting in difficult conditions. Some rivers have suffered like the East Ranga but some have benefitted like the Laxa in Kjos.

Another week and still some good fishing to be had. In the summer we suffered from drought but now we are getting too much rain!

As the autumn gets closer the fishing gets slower for the most part, but there are exceptions to the rule. Many rivers have been battling drought all summer and when it started to rain the fishing picked up as well. The Ranga rivers also opened up for worm and spinner from 1st of September which gave a boost in results.

Fishing has slowed down overall but we are still seeing good catches in the Ranga rivers. The West Ranga had a more productive week than the East and has thus snatched the top spot for the first time this summer. It will be exciting to see which river finishes on top in the end of the season, my money is on the East Ranga. Pictured is a 65 cm arctic char taken in beat 9 in East Ranga.

Another week and the fishing has slowed down. A big factor in that is the drought we have been experiencing all over the country with hardly a drop of rain for the past month.
