It is one of the relatively few rivers in the West and Southwest of Iceland that regularly yield 20 pounders . A few fish ranging from 20 to 26 pounds are taken each season. The Laxa has a full board and staff in a well equipped lodge. The only blip in its armoury is a tendency to become very low in water levels during draughts in the summer.
