River Brúará 
The river Bruara is fantastic for Arctic Char fishing in Iceland, both landlocked and sea run. You might also get occasional Salmon

Fishing in Bruara is a great experience.  As the second largest clear water river in Iceland, Bruara is huge and slow stream, perfect for using a strike indicator and upstream fishing.

The Char in Brúará puts up a great fight and you can hook up to 2,5 kg fish

The access to the river is very good and no need to walk far for the best spots.This is the second largest spring fed river of the country. Its name is derived from a former natural stone arch across it. One of the bishops’ wives at Skalholt had her chef demolish it to prevent vagrants from frequenting the seat of the bishops.
