One of the finest fly-fishing gems in Iceland, hidden midway between the active volcanos Eyjafjallajökull and Grímsvötn, is the charming Grenlækur River.
In exclusive surroundings the Grenlækur Lodge overlooks the untamed wilderness of the renowned river, that meanders through the mossy lava fields of Eldhraun and the extraordinary pseudocraters from the Eldgjá eruption in 934.
When standing on top of the rocky lava field on a late autumn afternoon, watching up to 20-pound sea trout flopping around in the crystal-clear pools just outside the remote lodge, it is easy to understand why fly fishermen from all over the world would return to the river season after season.
