The East bank Ós-Brú

Fished with 3 rods and the main fishing areas are at the confluences and sandbanks. This is a large section and largely unexplored. Therefore, anglers are encouraged to try many places.

The East bank Ós-Brú

This beat is also fished with 3 rods and is a better-known area than the east-bank. Several freshwater rivers flow into Skjálfandafljót and there is often good fishing where clear water flows into the glacial water, for example at the mouth of Rangá, Leikskálaá and Nípá. A logbook can be found in the dairy house at Vaði 2.

The East bank (Vaðseyja)

This section is above the highway and is very varied. The river runs over sands and therefore the area changes considerably from year to year. It is necessary to explore far and wide, try by islands and tributaries where new fishing grounds can form between years. The best chance of salmon is near Vaðseyja and Börð;Southern & Outer, but trout can be found in many places. Other fishing areas worth trying are Seniver and Miðbakki. Two rods are allowed in this section.

West-Bank (Brú-Fellsendaskógur):

There is the chance of a salmon in this section, but less chance than on the east bank. Considerable changes in the river can also happen in this area from year to year although the main fishing areas seem to keep their structure. These include Skógarpoll, Skriðuhorn, Girðingarhorn and Meleyrarpoll. There are 2 rods allowed in this section.
