River Bruara is the second largest spring fed river of the country.  Its discharge area i in the Rotarsandur Area and the Bruara Canyons, which are among the most beautiful natural phenomena in Iceland.  It is not among the most prolific salmon rivers except fr the area around the confluence with River Hvita. That fishing spot, called Hamrar, often produces large fishes.  The salmon runs the total length of the river and its tributary Hagaos, which produces 200-200 salmon during a good season, but usually quite a bit fewer.

Most of them are caught near the farms Spoastadir and Sel and most of the salmon running River Bruara is believed to be on its way there. River Hagaos is the discharge of Lakes Apavatn and Laugarvatn. The char catch is relatively good and the fishes sometimes weigh up to 7 pounds. The individual farmers in the area sell permits.
