The Langadalsá is among the most remote salmon rivers in Iceland. Located in the West Fjords it has truly unique surroundings where one can fish in pristine clear waters in total privacy for days on end.
For more information please contact erik@starir.is
The Langadalsá is located far into the Ísafjarðardjúp-fjord in the remote and rugged West fjords of Iceland.
The Langadalsá is fished with four rods. On average the salmon are a typical size for the western part of Iceland, with the occasional 20-pounder. Since 2019 the Langadalsá has been a full catch and release river.
The Langadalsá meanders through a green and fertile valley. It is 24 km long and salmon can run approximately 20 km of its length.
The access to the pools is very good, as regular cars can be used to get close to most of the pools. The Langadalsá is very popular with families and small groups who enjoy the tranquility by the river as part of an outdoor holiday.

If a certificate cannot be obtained, the fishing equipment must be handed to customs officers upon entering the country for immediate disinfection at owner’s expense.

In Iceland English is widely spoken by the locals and can be referred to as a second language.
We recommend fishing single handed rods as the river can be quite delicate and lighter lines can help anglers avoid spooking fish.
