What equipment should I buy to fish in Iceland?

I'm a native and I love fishing. If you want to get away from this without KILLING your wallet I suggest you start by getting your hands on Veiðikortið (the Fishing Card) which grants you access to 36 lakes around the country. Mostly trout fishing but still a lot of fun. You can find more info here: http://www.veidikortid. read more

If you are planning to spearfish, there are spearfishing schools you can rent out equipment from. It may be better off not to buy your gear if you are not planning to stay longer; this will save you the hassle of bringing them with you when you go home. Check out Freedive Iceland for some spearfishing equipment you would need. read more
