What can be fished

Description

This Ölvesvatn is not as popular as the Ölvesvatn This Ölvesvatn is not as popular as the Ölvesvatn which is considerably further south in the land of Hvalnes. This is still a good fishing lake with char and brown trout. The lake is 1.4 km² in area, rather shallow and at 110 m above sea level. It is possible to drive a jeep trail from Hraun, past the farm-lakes.

The house by Kolluvatn has bunk beds for four and a sofa bed for two additional guests. In the one in Skammagil there are bunk beds for 5 people. Both houses have tableware and kitchen utensils, gas hobs for cooking and a gas grill.

For those who stay in the cabins, a day costs 7000 ISK per person and a fishing permit is included in that price
