Chasing Wild Icelandic Trout: A Deep Dive Into Heidar Valley’s Raw, Untouched Fishing
Nov 23, 2025

There’s a certain kind of honesty you only find in places that haven’t been polished by time or people, and that’s exactly what comes through in this conversation from Iceland’s Heidar Valley. From that first morning when the landscape slowly revealed itself—raw, sharp, and brutal in a beautiful way—to long days split between the river and lake, the interview captures what it feels like to chase truly wild trout in a place that still holds onto its original genetics. There’s humor, too—like Tuva out-fishing the whole crew with a belly-crawl sneak attack—and real urgency about protecting Iceland’s untouched fisheries before they change forever. It’s the kind of story that reminds you why we travel, why we fish, and why these moments matter.

What followed was a decade-long transformation from wide-eyed beginner to passionate tyer and river tactician. We swapped stories about clumsy first ties, fly box obsessions, and the never-ending pursuit of the perfect drift. This one’s for the folks who know the river teaches best.
