I visited Iceland from 21th April until 7th of May in 2017, chasing the Ice Age browns in the famous lake Pingvallavatn.
Of course I visited the North side of the lake – the wonderful Nature Reserve.

What a place to camp!
Camping in April in Iceland can be chilly
You need a good sleeping bag
Breathtaking
I used Ingimundur’s bike to go to the lake everyday!
Freezing cold water – better look for places were wading is not necessary
Stripping, casting, stripping, casting
Cold
Very cold
Sunshine, but still COLD
Very cold
My good friend Andrew brought me some nice food 🙂
Luxury
Fresh snow !!
A hail strom rolling in
The first 10 days – not a fish landed…. hard work
Switching between sinking line and slow IM
Feeling small – what a feeling
Finally a fish! 83 cm weighing 17 pound
The same 83 cm fish
My biggest brown so far. 91 cm, 20 pound
Lucky on the last day: sunshine and being able to dry all the gear before going home.
