What can be fished

Description

Kaldárhöfði is the southernmost fishing area in Lake Þingvallavatn and the northernmost area in Lake Úlfljótsvatn. This is a very diverse area that offers both brown trout and Arctic char fishing. The area has a long fishing history and was probably the best brown trout area in Lake Þingvallavatn before the time of the power plants in Sogi. With the growing fishing for brown trout in the lake, it will be exciting to follow the fishing at Kaldárhöfði soon. Part of the area is in Lake Úlfljótsvatn and that area is known for both large brown trout and plenty of char. Brown trout fishing is especially good north of the lake and out of the islet, but char fishing is good in the whole area.

Fishing rules

Six rods are fished from May 1st to June 10th and then ten rods from June 11th to August 31st

Directions
