The surroundings at Laxa river are absolutely beautiful and the fishing can truly be phenomenal.
Fishing hours
Daily fishing is from 08:00 – 14.00 and 16:00 – 22:00. Two rods share each beat. The beats are very long with plenty of space for the two rods fishing the six hour shift. With the road going all along both river banks, access to the pools is quite easy.
Lodge
The lodge, Raudholar, is an old lodge, but has recently been renovated. It now has private ensuite rooms for every fisherman. We find it very cozy with a sense of the history of past fishing adventures.
At the lodge we will have breakfast, lunch and dinner, served buffet style.
