This is an excellent, three rod sea char river, which spills into the
Skalmarfiord Bay in the southern Westfiords region. The lodge is an old abandoned farmhouse and the
catch reaches 700 chars during a period of six weeks. The river is leased to a group of
anglers from the last days of July and all of August.
The remaining days of the season are used by
the owners of the river themselves. An old route lies up the valley across the mountains
to the bay Isafiord. The valley was said to be so well vegetated that sheep which had
been starved half to death during winter recovered remarkably quickly after having been
released to the grazings in spring. On two spits of land entering the bay Skalmarfiord
there were two German trading posts in the past. |
