Lake Thingvellir - one of the best experiences at Iceland
Lake Thingvellir Iceland Ion Beat

ION Beat – trophy trout

Lake Thingvellir provides us with one of the fly fishing wonders of Iceland. The “Ice age brown trout” can grow up to extreme sizes for a fresh water fish, with reports every year recording trout up to 30 pounds being caught there.

We are very proud to be working with ION Fishing.

The combination of the serene atmosphere, the crystal clear lake situated in an otherworldly landscape of breathtaking lava rock formations, volcanoes in the distance, great fishing opportunities, raw natural beauty and it being a short driving distance from Reykjavík the capital of Iceland makes Thingvellir National Park an optimal place to visit for those who want to see, smell, and feel something new and entirely different.

Accommodation options

For the wholesome experience we recommend anglers stay at ION Hotel or Other customized lodging arrangements are available upon request (cottages, guesthouses or hotels).
