Hafralonsa is situated in the North East corner of Iceland. Further North than the more famous rivers of Hofsa and Sela, Hafralonsa flows into the sea close to the small fishing port of Thorshofn. Hafralonsa covers 28 beautiful fishable kilometres. The river rises at its source in the hills and runs through a number of km of Trout and Char fishing before cascading over the beautiful upper waterfall. Early in the season Salmon run throughout the river as far as the top pool, which has a glassy tail to it, offering ideal fish spotting opportunities and testing fly-fishing.

The river runs through apparently quite a flat landscape. However don’t be deceived. The river careers through a deep gorge that at times can be very sheer sided and dramatic. Conversely this is not to say that the river is not approachable. The lower section is wide and easily accessed with enticing cut banks and gravel glides. There are few pools in fact that are not easily accessed by all anglers and even the steeper climbs should be attainable by all but the least agile anglers.
