Three days’ fishing for salmon and sea-run char for 1 rod on the River Breiðdalsa in eastern Iceland including lodge and food. The Breiðdalsa is a medium-sized river with a variety of water to keep the fishing interesting and it is known for large multi-sea-winter fish. The lodge provides very high-quality en suite accommodation. Additional rods may be purchased or rods shared. Non-fishing partners are very welcome to enjoy the stunning scenery of east Iceland. Excludes flights to Egilsstaðir, hire car and guide. 2019 season, date by arrangement and dependent upon availability.

Three nights’ self-catering accommodation in the village of Koprivnik in the Triglav National Park in Slovenia, 13-16 September 2019. The cottage sleeps six in three bedrooms and has recently been renovated to provide modern and comfortable accommodation less than an hour from Ljubljana airport. Although not a fishing lodge (it is on a plateau at 1000m) the cottage is a good base for fishing for trout in the Sava and Soča catchments or hiking direct from the door into the mountains. The Sava Bohinjka is 15 minutes’ drive. The River Radovna is easily accessible, along with other rivers in the Sava catchment (Krka, Unica, Sora and Kokra). The River Soča (famous for marble trout) is accessible by a short train ride through the mountains.

One day for 1 rod fishing rivers in the Trysil area of Norway for trout and grayling with professional guide and tenkara guru, Chris Hendriks. Chris will guide using conventional fly rods or tenkara and all equipment other than waders may be borrowed. The Trysil area has a wide range of fishing opportunities from large rivers to small mountain streams. Trout and grayling of up to 2lb can be expected – tenkara is not just for small fish! All wild fish in a stunning natural environment just 3 hours north of Oslo. Excellent local accommodation can be arranged at Trysil Hyttegrend at additional cost. 2019 season.

One day for 2 rods on the Fario Club’s beat of the Rouloir river in Normandy. Half a mile of double-bank fishing at La Croisille Mill near Conches-en-Ouche and Évreux. Picnic lunch and guide included. Wild brown trout only, dry fly or upstream nymph fishing preferred. The karst geology, forested catchment and low levels of pesticide and fertiliser pollution result in very good fly life with fish rising all day. B&B available on-site at additional cost. Other fishing available nearby on the River Iton or within a 50km radius for those wishing to stay longer (at own cost). To be taken between 1 May and 10 September 2019.

One day for 2 rods fishing a 4.5km-stretch of the Lesse, a medium-sized freestone river located at the edge of the Ardennes region of Belgium, guided by two dedicated conservationist anglers. Stocking with hatchery trout ceased at the start of the 2018 season so fishing is catch & release for wild trout and grayling. Good fly hatches usually guarantee dry fly sport but traditional wet spider or nymph fishing are also productive. A visit to the local spawning stream restoration project can be arranged if interested. Date by arrangement in 2019, best May/June or late September. B&B available on-site at additional cost.
