It is rather shallow, with a maximum depth of 4.5 m. There are a lot of fish in Laxárvatn, mainly trout between half and two pounds. The river Laxá on Ásum, one of the best known salmon rivers in the country, flows out of the lake and salmon therefore have easy access to the lake. Therefore, several salmon are caught there every summer. This is an exciting family choice.

Directions
The area where fishing is permitted is the west bank between the boundaries of Sauðanes and Köldukinn to the north and between Sauðanes and Mánafoss to the south. Until mid-June, it is recommended that anglers park their cars by the fence and walk down to the lake due to lose horses in the area. They tend to behave badly around cars!
