The Monster Brown Trout of Thingvallavatn
Iceland
Off of Ring Road 1 on Iceland’s southern coast run a host of wild rivers fed by glacial water. That’s where Stanji Ben runs his fly fishing tour group, Iceland Angling Travel. With temperatures often dropping below freezing in an Icelandic spring, fly fishermen need to break ice off of their rods just to continue casting. But a little cold weather and near blizzard conditions doesn’t stop Stanji from wading waist deep into freezing waters to catch the elusive Icelandic river trout. Here we follow him out on a trip with friends to talk about the take, the river, and the country he calls home.

The GFF money box

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
