Cod and Halibut Hotspots: Suðureyri and Flateyri guarantee top catches
The Westfjords of Iceland are a true mecca for anglers, with two locations standing out in particular: Suðureyri and Flateyri. These charming fishing villages not only offer a picturesque backdrop but also direct access to some of the best fishing spots in Iceland. The short distances to the fish-rich areas make them ideal starting points for your personal fishing adventure. Here, you will encounter a unique combination of tradition and the latest fishing equipment.
Suðureyri, known for its sustainable fishing practices, is strategically located at the entrance of Súgandafjörður. From here, you can quickly reach the famous sandy plateau, an absolute hotspot for large cod. Flateyri, nestled in the scenic Önundarfjörður, also offers excellent fishing opportunities and is known for its relaxed atmosphere. Both locations are perfectly situated to make the most of the Westfjords' diversity and to collect unforgettable fishing experiences.
The convergence of the warm Irminger Current and the cold East Greenland Current creates a unique, nutrient-rich environment. These conditions attract a vast variety of fish, including hefty cod, impressive halibut, and powerful wolffish. Iceland's sustainable fishery management contributes significantly to preserving these stocks for the future.

Seaman's house or captain's house: Find your ideal accommodation for maximum comfort
After a long, exciting day on the water, comfortable accommodation is key. At Angelreisen K&N, you have the choice between two different types of accommodation: the traditional Seemannshaus and the modern Kapitänshaus. Both options provide you with a cosy base for your fishing holiday, but with different focuses. Choose the accommodation that best suits your needs and preferences to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
The Seemannshaus is a practical and charming option that instantly immerses you in Iceland's maritime atmosphere. It offers everything you need for a pleasant stay without indulging in unnecessary luxury. If you value authenticity and excellent value for money, the Seemannshaus is the perfect choice for you. Here, you can feel like a real Icelandic sailor and enjoy the simplicity of life.
The Kapitänshaus, built in 2023, offers you additional comfort and modern amenities. Here, you can relax after fishing and unwind. Highlights include a spacious living area, a convenient dishwasher, a washing machine, a dryer, and an inviting covered terrace. The Kapitänshaus is ideal for those who value luxury and comfort and want to treat themselves to something special after a long day at sea. Both types of houses are perfect for groups of 2-5 people.

Fishing Holiday 2025: Plan Season Times and Prices Optimally for Maximum Savings
The prices for fishing trips to Iceland in 2025 vary depending on the season, the number of people, and the desired length of stay. Basically, there are two main seasons: Season A and Season B. Season A is generally a bit more expensive but also offers the best fishing conditions, as the weather is more stable, and the fish stocks are optimal. Season B is more economical, but the weather can be a bit more unpredictable.
The prices also depend on the number of people participating in the trip. There are special offers for groups of 2-5 people. The larger the group, the cheaper it becomes per person. The length of stay also plays a decisive role in pricing. You can choose to stay for 4, 7, 10, or 14 nights, depending on how much time you want to spend fishing and relaxing in Iceland.
It is worthwhile to book early to take advantage of attractive early booking benefits and exclusive special offers. Check our website directly or contact us personally to find the best deals for your fishing holiday in 2025 and ensure you get the best value for money. You can find the current prices and detailed season times clearly outlined here.
Safe Fishing in Iceland: Licenses, Equipment, and Boat License – Your Guide
Before you embark on your exciting fishing adventure in Iceland, you should definitely familiarise yourself with the necessary formalities to ensure that you can fish legally and with peace of mind. This includes the required fishing permits and licences you need to fish legally in Icelandic waters. For mere sea fishing, a special licence is usually not required; however, it is advisable to thoroughly inform yourself in advance to avoid misunderstandings.
If you wish to fish in freshwater rivers and lakes, for instance, as a welcome alternative when the weather is bad, you will need a separate licence. You can easily purchase this on site. The cost of such a licence is around 9,900 ISK in 2024. Plan for these costs in your budget to be able to react flexibly to weather conditions.
The right equipment is also crucial for the success of your fishing trip. We highly recommend robust 30-lb rods with high-quality multiplier reels and braided lines with a minimum diameter of 0.30mm. Careful selection of the appropriate pilkers and hooks is also of great importance to securely land the target fish. If you want to rent a boat, you will need a valid 'Sportbootführerschein See'. If you do not possess one, there may be the possibility of obtaining a temporary permit locally. The detailed fishing regulations in Iceland can also be found on this page.
More than just fishing: Discover the nature and culture of the Westfjords
The Westfjords of Iceland offer far more than just excellent fishing opportunities. Use your fishing holiday to deeply explore the breathtaking nature and rich culture of this fascinating region. Be sure to visit the impressive Dynjandi Waterfall, one of the most famous landmarks of the Westfjords, and be enchanted by its beauty. Make sure to plan enough time to discover the diverse aspects of the Westfjords.
Explore the charming town of Isafjördur, the vibrant cultural centre of the region. Here you'll find interesting museums, inviting galleries, and cosy cafés that invite you to linger. The small, idyllic fishing villages of Flateyri and Suðureyri are definitely worth a visit as well. Both places have inviting swimming pools with soothing thermal water, where you can relax and recharge after a long day at sea.
A special highlight is the annual Iceland Festival 2025 (3rd-12th June 2025). This festival offers, among other things, an exciting fishing competition with attractive prizes. The main prize even includes a free participation in the festival the following year, 2026. The festival is a great opportunity to meet other enthusiastic anglers, make valuable connections, and experience Icelandic culture up close. The diverse sights of the Westfjords are absolutely worth seeing and should definitely be on your travel list. Here you'll find further inspiration and valuable tips for your unforgettable journey.
