Fishing in Bruara is a great experience. As the second largest clear water river in Iceland, Bruara is huge and slow stream, perfect for using a strike indicator and upstream fishing.

The access to the river is very good and no need to walk far for the best spots.This is the second largest spring fed river of the country. Its name is derived from a former natural stone arch across it. One of the bishops’ wives at Skalholt had her chef demolish it to prevent vagrants from frequenting the seat of the bishops.
The river is about 38 km long and tributes to the glacial river Hvita. There are many good fishing spots in Bruara. One of the best beat is in the land of farm Spoastaðir, there are excellent fishing spots in that area and the catch is Sea run Char and occasional Salmon.
