Skaftá – Mávabótarálar

In this area there is often good sea trout fishing in the second half of the summer. The fishing area is in the lower part of Skaftá, somewhat below Vatnamót. In this area, Skaftá flows between sand dunes in ever-changing channels. There is a lot of wet sand and a high degree of caution is needed, both for cars and people. Streams flow from the east into the Skaftá river and the best fishing spots are at the confluence of rain fed streams and glacial water, as is so often the case in such conditions. Most of the fishing is probably on a spinner, but fly-fishing catches too, here as elsewhere.
