Iceland 2026 Group Trip
It’s no secret—I’m passionate about fly fishing in Iceland! After years of visiting multiple times each season and exploring its diverse fisheries, I’ve come to know the regions and the best opportunities for anglers. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce my 2026 hosted trip to Iceland—a true trophy fly fishing adventure. We’ll target Atlantic salmon, massive brown trout, and powerhouse Arctic char. This PRIME week is perfectly timed for world-class Atlantic salmon fishing and also offers incredible chances to connect with sea-run browns and sea-run char.
In 2024 and 2025, my group trips featured 8 anglers chasing Atlantic salmon…and EVERY angler on my trips has landed an Atlantic salmon on the Mýrarkvísl River. Read about this special salmon river: HERE To further add to this fun, the outfitter I work with recently gained the fishing rights on a one-of-a-kind fishing destination, the Litlaá River. It’s renowned for clear, steady flows and a stunning natural setting…and trophy brown trout and Arctic char!
In collaboration with Iceland Fishing Guide, I have put together an experience unlike any I’ve hosted previously. Over the course of a week, you will fish two of the most unforgettable rivers in Iceland: The Mýrarkvísl River for Atlantic salmon and the Litlaá River for trophy brown trout and Arctic char, plus opportunities for sea-run brown trout and sea-run Arctic char. There’s even a BONUS spot above the Litlaá River, Earthquake Lake, known for massive brown trout and Arctic char. Look over the itinerary below for more information. This is the trip you’ll talk about for the rest of your life.
Skúlagarður Hótel rests peacefully along the banks of Iceland’s Litlaá River, surrounded by sweeping views of the wild north coast. Once a historic schoolhouse, it’s now a warm and inviting base for anglers and travelers exploring this remote fishing paradise.
Fishing with like-minded anglers nearly guarantees that by the end of the week, we’ve established friendships that last years. It was an honor to fish with everyone in this picture. Speaking of which, EVERY angler in this picture landed at least two Atlantic salmon!

BONUS: Earthquake Lake & The Goat River!
Peter Prager with a stunning Litlaá River brown trout, caught on Earthquake Lake!
While fishing the Litlas River, we also have access to the Lake Skjálftavatn, known as Earthquake Lake. This hidden gem offers anglers the chance to target trophy-class Arctic char and brown trout in a dramatic volcanic setting. This glacial lake is known for producing exceptionally large fish, with char and trout that fight as hard as they look. Each session here holds the possibility of connecting with the fish of a lifetime.
Though not part of the set itinerary, time on Skjálftavatn can be arranged in place of one of your scheduled sessions at no extra cost. When the trophy fish are active on this lake, we recommend that all anglers transition to target an Iceland fish of a lifetime.
When at the Mýrarkvísl Lodge, anglers also have access to the Geitafellsá River, loaded with Arctic char and brown trout. Anglers can catch upwards of 20 Arctic char and brown trout per session. This is a small river, connecting the Kringluvatn and Langavatn Lakes. We also have access to fish the Langavatn Lake where the river runs in.
Together, Lake Skjálftavatn and the Geitafellsá River provide special opportunities for anglers who want to step off the main program and pursue something extraordinary—whether it’s sheer numbers or the chance at a fish of a lifetime.
