East Ranga, Iceland Spey Angling Opportunity
Max Salzburg October 20, 2023
The East Ranga is one of Iceland's most sought-after rivers, is renowned for its high numbers of large fish, and is especially well suited to anglers that know and love steelhead fishing.
- It is best fished with two-handed rods.
- It is cold so steelhead anglers who know how to fish sink tips and slow the fly down, do very well.
- It is well suited to anglers who can effectively cover water with a traditional step, swing approach.
- East Ranga fish tend to be large by Icelandic standards, with most weighing 8- to 15-pounds.
- Of Iceland's top 40 rivers, the East Ranga typically ranks in the top two in terms of the most fish landed. Most years more than 2500 fish are landed by guests.
- It is known for being exceedingly stable and holding its flows during storms.
