I have always dreamed of catching my first Atlantic Salmon. Would this trip be the one that I finally catch one? How about a big one? This trip was marked with so many special moments: Meeting Matti and Ragna, watching and documenting “The Mink” on the prowl and exploring northern Iceland.
Prior to the trip, Ben and I bet $100 that he could “call his shot”, if he sees a fish, he can catch it. You decide, do I owe Ben $100 or not?! Who knew you could tight-line nymph for Atlantic Salmon?

The Mýrarkvísl River in Iceland is a special place. I cannot think of a better river to fish for Atlantic Salmon when you consider both population numbers and size of the fish.

Special thanks to our guide and great friend Matthías Þór Hákonarson.
