Overview

The river Sog (more commonly written Sogið) is a river in the southwest of Iceland. It runs from Lake Þingvallavatn for 22km to its confluence with the river Hvítá, forming the river Ölfusá which then runs for another 25km into the Atlantic Ocean. Historically the Sog was one of the best atlantic salmon rivers in Iceland, but years of poor management led to dwindling numbers of salmon. In recent years however, with the introduction of catch and release practices, the river has seen a steady improvement. Atlantic salmon tend to be the main prize sought by anglers fishing the river, although it should be kept in mind that it also holds a good number of arctic char, resident brown trout, and sea trout.

The Thrastalundur Beat of the river Sog is located on the east bank and stretches from the Thrastalundur bridge up to the Álftavatn lake. he beat is best fished with double-handed rods in the size #8 range, both with floating lines and sink tips. The Thrastalundur beat is located in brush and forest land, giving it characteristics that are unusual for Iceland. Wading sticks and lifevests are highly recommended as the clear fast water is deceptively powerful.

Please note this is a day ticket only - accommodation, guiding, equipment and transfers are not included. The fishery is around 60km/1 hour by car to the east of Reykjavik.
