Our destination is the land of fire and ice--Iceland with Tim Cammisa, author and owner of Trout & Feather, and Matti Hákonarson, guide and owner of Iceland Fishing Guide. With its stunning scenery, friendly people, and waters teeming with plentiful Atlantic salmon, hard-fighting arctic char, and massive sea-run and resident brown trout, Iceland is among the most incredible places in the world for fly anglers.

Matti and Tim give us the ultimate rundown on fly fishing in Iceland—covering the culture, the bugs, pro tips and tactics, and the best times of year to chase each species. Plus, we’ll hear incredible stories of battling monster browns, dancing with Atlantic salmon, and the almost-religious art of fly selection.

Tim’s latest book, Tying Euro Nymphs, features top flies from some of the best anglers in the world. And stick around to the end for tales of cheap whale meat, fermented shark, haggis, and Iceland’s infamous drink—Black Death. Oh, and a lesson in how not to fish with your wife.
