In Eyjajförður, close to Akureyri the biggest town in the northern part of Iceland, are several well-known sea char rivers. It is worth mentioning Eyjafjarðará, Ólafsfjarðará, Svarfaðardalsá and Hörgá. What the rivers have in common is that in almost all of them the same flies catch the most fish. In a sample, showing the 14 most used flies in rivers in Eyjafjörður over the years 2008 – 2020, the use of streamers is noticeable. This is probably because they are more used in glacial rivers, like Hörgá and Svarfaðardalsá. Below are the 8 most used flies, and they are probably also popular in other sea char rivers.
