Thanks Rob. That 'flounder' fought hard, it came to the surface 4 times and 4 times it went back down again, I thought that my arms were going to fall off lol. Seriously strong big flatties.Rob Millard wrote:Fantastic, well done. Nice flounder
Thanks Jack. Char are definitely up there as one of the prettiest freshwater fish there is, I'd agree; as a big brown trout/salmonid fan I was blown away when I landed the first one There was an iridescent blue off their flanks and backs that isn't apparent in my pics. Stunning fish.jack01986 wrote:Great fishing Charlie. Char are probably my favorite fish to catch.

I've caught a few of them in Iceland there is some crazy colour variations in them as well. We missed a few bigger ones on the dry fly which would have been cool but they went down after casting at them. I thought I wold get a trip to Iceland next year but that will be on hold for another year as I'll be getting married at the end of the summer !

Cool. Can I ask where you fished in Iceland?? - a friend and I will be looking at options over the winter. We are hoping to just plan the trip ourselves, have you any advice?
Did you fish Lake Thingvallavatn? or did you explore other areas?
We primarily want to flyfish for brown trout but char will be high on the agenda too.. Would really appreciate some insight/guidance..
