Carving its way through Iceland’s untamed eastern wilderness, River Jökla is a river like no other. Flowing through rugged valleys and remote highlands, this pristine waterway has become a dependable haven for the majestic Atlantic salmon. Once clouded with glacial silt, Jökla now runs clear in summer, revealing wild, powerful pools and untapped beats. With consistent runs throughout the season and 100 cm fish landed each year, it stands among Iceland’s most promising salmon rivers.
This is a place for the curious and the committed - where new beats are still being discovered, and every cast holds the thrill of possibility. With over 75 km of confirmed salmon water - possibly well over 100 km in total, and access to three distinct tributaries, and a growing stock of wild salmon, sea trout, and char, Jökla offers rare variety, very low pressure, and a deep connection to the land.
Main river plus four tributaries. Five rivers in rotation with great variation and strong salmon numbers. Iceland’s most dynamic salmon fishery.
