Fishing rules
Those who plan to fish on Arnarvatnsheiði need to keep in mind that there are a huge number of midges all over the heath. Most people curse them, as many have been bitten. It is therefore necessary to bring various types of fly repellent and bug hats. It is also a good idea to bring an allergy medicine with you if the bites cause a severe allergic reaction.
Directions
It is necessary to contact locals and seek information if you are going to the heath, which is only open to normal vehicles during the high summer. Fishing is allowed in all lakes within the Arnarvatnsheiði Fishing Association
