News just in from Charlie White, who returned from East Ranga this afternoon. His group had 125 Salmon for three days, which whilst (by East Ranga standards) not record breaking is still good fishing. The serious additional fact is that nearly all the fish they caught were between 10 and 20 lbs and they also caught a […]

Iceland 2015 report
Iceland has had the coldest winter for many years and certainly I have never seen the mountains and volcanoes covered in so much snow before. Good news for the glaciers which have recovered a lot of lost ice, but not such good news for East Ranga which has been running at barely 4 degrees for […]
Varzuga 23rd to 29th May 2015
Our team of 9 (sadly without John M) arrived at the Sabbachi camp after a trouble free journey to find the river just coming down to a perfect height – the Shark-fin stone on the Heli-Pool just under the surface – but a little warm for my liking at 9 degrees. Fish run through fast when the […]
Varzuga just before we go

Iceland before we go
I spoke to Charlie White a few moments ago, who is just back from the East Ranga… The river is clear and running at a good level. His 14 rods got 157 fish in three days which, given that 6 of them were total beginners and there were numbers of fish over 5 kilos, is fantastic. […]
East Ranga, Iceland Report 2013
The weather in Iceland is generally the opposite of whatever we get in the UK. Last year we were flooded out whilst Iceland had a drought, this year we are baking whilst Iceland are getting a series of odd weather fronts. Our lot turned out to be a very strange mix of blazing sunshine and […]
