Jóhannes Sturlaugsson – Björn Theodórsson Preliminary studies for 2021-2023 indicate that the river area above Tungufoss in Eystri-Rangá is suitable for salmon when reaching the spring river Teitsvötn. This information is pleasing to those who are working to establish a sustainable salmon population in this future salmon oasis in Eystri-Rangá. At the same time, there is no doubt that fishing right holders […]
Interviews with Jóhannes Sturlaugsson, Björn Theodórsson, Lýð Skúlason and Guðmundur Inga Hjartarson. The story tells of spawning, fry and salmon releases and the harvest of recent years. During electrofishing, a large number of fry were found and the most positive thing was that the largest fry were well-behaved and about 12cm in size. This tells us that the fry are […]

The salmon fry were measured in weight and length and taken for further research. A large number of char fry were also found.
Jóhannes Sturlaugsson and Björn Theódórsson It can be said that this project is almost without precedent, but the opinion of the ichthyologists who said that this was probably the only large river that could still be built in Iceland and that further research was needed. During research last summer, the question often came up: “why hasn’t anyone done […]
