Langadalsá

The Langadalsá is located deep in the long and scenic Ísafjarðardjúp-fjord in the remote and rugged West fjords of Iceland. The Langadalsá has a shared estuary with a lovely tributary river and produces around 300 to 400 salmon annually as well as good numbers of char. The Langadalsá is fished with four rods. On average the salmon is considered large for the western part of Iceland, of around 9 lbs, with the occasional 20-pounder caught. The number of big salmon has been rising with the years, especially with the Langadalsá being catch and release since 2019.

The Langadalsá meanders though a green and fertile valley. It is 24 km long and salmon can run approximately 20 km of its length. 

The access to the pools is very good, as regular cars can be used to get close to most of the pools. The Langadalsá is very popular with families and small groups who enjoy the peacefulness by the river, and enjoying an outdoor holiday.
