In Iceland it is legal to use every kind of bait that the fish do case and take willingly. It is forbidden to use any kind of tackle that hooks into the fish unawares or without the fish casing it.
Almost all of the bigger rivers market the prime time of the season internationally and fly-fishing only is strictly enforced in that period.
Few lakes offer nets, but usually it is strictly forbidden.
It is the best way to fish in Iceland if you are not in to catching in salmon rivers (which is very expensive and needs prior booking). Is a very economic choice for fishermen and travelers it costs only about 6.000 ISK. With Veiðikortið you can fish almost as much as you like in 35 lakes all around Iceland. Only a few lakes are open all year, but most of those stay open approx. between May 1st and September 30th.
As there is only basic information in English, you are advised to check the website before you come.
Please note that the card only gives you access to the 35 lakes. There are plenty of other lakes and rivers around Iceland and you are not permitted to catch there. If you are caught you can expect fines.
