This spring, a new fishing area opened on the east bank of the Ölfusá River, in the land of Laugardælir and the golf course in Selfoss. Good trout fishing is available in the spring, primarily for sea trout. Salmon begin to migrate in mid-June and their presence becomes more prominent by July. Salmon fishing is available until September, after which sea trout fishing is permitted until October. This fishing area is diverse, offering a large bank length suitable for only two rods. Fishing in that area can be challenging, with an average catch of 2-6 fish per day, but some have caught up to a dozen fish. It is allowed to keep one fish per day.
Fishing licenses for Laugardælir can be obtained at Veiðibúð Suðurlands in Selfoss, located at Austurvegur 22. Kolbrún Magnúsdóttir (Kolla) will assist you. The store is open from 10:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 to 14:00 on Saturdays.
