Salmon fishing season in Iceland finally closed and we are coming slowly in to dark Icelandic winter. We at the Lax-a office are already in full process to fill up our salmon rivers in Iceland for next season 2017 with keen anglers from all over the world. We would like to hear as soon as possible from you to secure some exciting fishing for you. Please find below our openings for 2017.
