About this experience

We begin the fishing tour by driving for about an hour until we get to lake Kringluvatn or Langavatn.
Lakes Kringluvatn & Langavatn are situated on a plateau so it is frozen over from December until March/April.
The lakes hold small arctic char and big brown trout and the odds are in your favor since it is not unusual to catch up to 15-20 char a day with the occasional huge brown trout.
