Description
Sogið is a spring fed river and is one of the largest rivers in Iceland. It runs out of Lake Þingvallavatn and merges with Hvítá in Árnessýsla 20 km downstream, southeast of Ingólfsfjall. Ásgarður is an ancient fishing beat in Sogið, known for big salmon and huge Arctic char. The beat is ideal for fly fishing with many good fishing spots.
