Description
Lake Fellsendavatn is in the highlands near Þórisvatn, only 19 km away from the Highland Center Hrauneyjar. In a normal season, the lake is about 1.7 km² and lies at about 530 meters above sea level. In severe droughts, the southern part of the lake disappears completely. This is the first lake that is reached when driving to the lakes Veiðivötn from Hrauneyjum. Brown trout juveniles that have managed to thrive well, were released into the lake. The fishing can be up and down, but the brown trout in the lake is quite big, or up to 6 – 7 pounds, and usually not less than about 2 pounds. The main fishing spots are by the coast to the north. The lake has also been quite popular in the winter when fishing through ice is allowed.
Accommodation & Facilities
Camping
There are no campsites as the environment is sandy, but there is plenty of space for campers and caravans.
Fishing rules
Around the lake there is mostly sand and not much vegetation, but where vegetation is found it is fragile. These areas are great natural gems and anglers are especially encouraged to be tidy, not to drive off-road and do not to leave rubbish behind.
Directions
Fishing is permitted in the whole lake The access to the lake is easy and possible to drive all the way down to it. However, it should be noted that the sand can be loose and therefore small passenger cars could get stuck.
