Lýsa lake area

This popular lake area in Snæfellsnes is a great option fishing for brown trout and Arctic char and there is also good salmon fishing. In the first half of the summer both char and brown trout are commonly caught, but as July progresses, there is increased chance of salmon. This is a great and inexpensive option for lake-fishing enthusiasts. There are a lot of fish in the lakes, but the fishing can be up and down, depending on the weather and winds. The salmon are usually grilse (but fish up to 19 pounds have been caught) and the trout are from 400 gr -1,000 gr. The most salmon fishing has been in Vatnsholtsá, which flows into the sea between the farms Ytri Garðar and Vatnsholt in Staðarveit
