Only 30 minutes walk from the fishing village Suðureyri to the next valley (Staðardalur) you can find a small salmon river called Langá. In the bottom of the valley (Vatnadalur) is a beautiful lake surrounded with large stones and lava where it runs from the lake down to the river. In the bottom of the valley the landscape is flat but with green hills and high mountains on both side.
In the lake you will find lots of arctic char and if you are lucky you can catch up to 4-5 pounds arctic char’s and some say they are much larger fish in this lake. In the upper part of the Salmon River you can expect to catch arctic char and brown trout and also salmon. The year of 2006 was the best year for salmon fishing in Langá. Over 60 salmon was cached and the largest one was over 11 pound.
Everyone can buy license from the farmer at Bær during the salmon season witch begins in the middle of June. Arctic char and brown trout fishing license can be bought much earlier. The valley is very quiet and peaceful. The landscape is spectacular and the old gravel road from the village to the valley is located under very high cliffs. The wave’s cracks on the rocks by the shore and when the West wind blow’s strong for few days, the road will be blocked and brakes in parts. The following images was taken last summer in Staðardalur and it is very easy to spend lot’s of time there with your fly rod.
