20 June saw the opening of the 2025 East Ranga season with 8 fish landed.

OK so we now look to have a decent spell of weather ahead. The river is in good shape and fishing 7-11 August was good

The weather. The weather!!!! It has been raining non-stop since the last week of July and the river has been largely in terrible condition.

What a party! The past five days have produced some excellent fishing, with just over 200 salmon landed

We were blessed with a real mix or rods from well travelled Atlantic Salmon fisherman, super patient Steelheaders and total beginners.

The opening on East Ranga can occasionally be very good but often it’s tough fishing. Yesterday was a good start.

There have been some amazing fish caught throughout the recent period with fresh fish caught into mid September and some very notable catches into October also.

Yesterday we broke through the 500 fish barrier with a catch of 48 fish including quite a lot of grilse.

We have been extremely lucky on the East Ranga with some utterly stunning fresh fish being caught in the early days of July.

On July 10, 2023 a fissure eruption started on the Reykjanes Peninsula

The 2023 Salmon fishing season has kicked off in Iceland, ushering in a wave of excitement and anticipation among fishers both at home and abroad.

East Ranga was one of Iceland’s two most prolific rivers, producing over 3800 salmon in four months to an average of 16 rods.

We recently braved the Icelandic snow storm to catch up with all things Iceland for the coming season. We spend a few days meeting staff and colleagues before heading out to see the hatchery.

Overall another stellar season spent with our wonderful clients and professional team.

As August gives way to September we can look back on a good month of fishing.

We had a great end to July and the teams ariving into early August came with great enthusiasm. We had a crack team in first with top performances from Rob O and Gareth J.

We’ve had a storm, we’ve had a flood and now we have a hell of a run of grilse arriving.
