    Best video yet, felt like I was there.
    New Zealand some day?
    Come on, the shark couldn't be as bad as those Salmon flies?

    • @Wish4Fish
      @Wish4Fish  7 лет назад

      Thanks! Actually a LOT of clients say that Iceland is better than NZ! I'm sure I will make it there someday.
      Dude... Salmonfly is a gourmet delicacy compared to shark!

      How was the whale meat? I was in Iceland a few years ago and ate Minke whale meat that was marinated and grilled. Very rich and tasty. When in Rome......

    • @Wish4Fish
      @Wish4Fish  7 лет назад

      The Whale is delicious! We eat whale in Japan as well so it was nothing new. Very tasty!

    Just did a day with these guys. Impossible to truly capture the experience on film, or really put words to it. Fished a couple of those same spots. Worth every bit of time and money.

      No doubt. Iceland it an amazing place for sure.

    Nice video. I was in Iceland a few years ago and consider it one of the last unspoiled gems on the planet. Its kinda like the "outer limits" of fly fishing.

    • @Wish4Fish
      @Wish4Fish  7 лет назад

      No doubt! Incredible over there. I was fishing this 50mile river and I was the ONLY person fishing it! Even fished water that no one has ever fished before! Incredible experience!

    The shark is something you will start to like the more you eat of it, kind of like blue cheese, I love it. And I think good news as well as iceland is open now if you have your covid shots

    • @Wish4Fish

      Ok, I love food. I can freely say, I will never love that 😉
      Oh, I am well aware. I have been keeping a very close eye on all that. I will be there in June! Luckily I am already fully vaccinated.

    Nice video, I have a permit for Kaldakvisl this July. How’s that road access on the north side. See there’s a few stream crossing. Don’t mind a few stream crossing here and there. Any of them sketchy or they doable with most 4x4s?

    • @Wish4Fish
      @Wish4Fish  5 лет назад

      Thanks.
      You’re going to need a pretty good 4x4 to get across some of those! As well as know where to cross.

    what are the 4 best flies to take on this trip
    i am going first week on july next year for my first time to the higland

    • @Wish4Fish
      @Wish4Fish  6 лет назад +2

      Are you going with a guide? Which guide service? Most guide services especially Fish Partner will have exactly what you need.
      If you're really wanting to take some stuff from home or tie some of your own that will be VERY easy. They only have 2 flies! Caddis and Midges. Mostly Midges. I would take some Elk Hair Caddis or one of my favorite patterns the EZ Caddis s16. Take some midges. Griffiths Gnat from 16-20 and some Zebra Midges. I would also take some Pheasant Tail s16-14. For streamer... Keep them small like Black Ghost.

  • @scarroll413
    @scarroll413 7 лет назад +1

    Hey Ken, what were you guys catching the char on, nymphs? If so, what's your setup and fly choice for fish like that? Thanks man, always love the videos.

    • @Wish4Fish
      @Wish4Fish  7 лет назад

      At the time we were using Pheasant Tails. I was using a size 12 and 14. I was using a double nymph rig at times and was also using a single nymph rig as well.
      Thanks for the kind words and support.

    Public water or private? I've heard and maybe incorrectly that most of the good freshwater fishing in Iceland is on private water.

    • @Wish4Fish
      @Wish4Fish  7 лет назад

      That is correct. Everything is private. They do have a license for $50 per year for around 50 public streams. Although they aren't anywhere close to as good as the private ones.
      Iceland is an incredible fishery because of this. I fished on a stream that was 50 miles and I was the only person on the stream! Even got to fish water that no one has EVER fished before.
