WHAT TO EXPECT

Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Be ready for some amazing photography opportunities.
You want to reserve your flights from Akureyri which is in northern Iceland. You will fly into Keflavik first, take a shuttle transfer to Reykyavik where you will catch your flight to Akureyri. It is quite simple and will be discussed on our team Zoom call.
Varied weather. It could be absolutely sunny and gorgeous, and it could be blowing the dickens, it is Iceland after all. The key is layering. I typically go with T-Shirt and long sleeve shirt (both wicking) and then a sweater or a fleece jacket. I bring a good raincoat for rain or wind. This laying system works perfectly for all conditions.
I carry a 5 & 7 weight rod for this trip. A 6 & 8 weight rods will also work perfectly. Weight forward floating trout style lines will be great. Have a sink tip or tip system available.
