Hello Brant, there is fish around and the bite is pretty good at the moment but not as big fish as in the video at this time of the year. The big spawning cod comes closer to land in the spring for spawning. I do have some good spots in mind if you are interested and I can show you around if you would like that. I watch your videos. All the best Pétur

@@IcelandicElements That would be great. I was going to try fishing on Tuesday and Friday of this coming up week. We are staying pretty close to the harbor, so I am assuming that is a decent area to try. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, and I would be happy to meet up with you if you're available.

@@AnglerUpTv I sent you a email to talk details.

He is an absolute legend.

One of my favourite places in the world, you are going to like it.

You can bring your own tackle yes. All fishing gear has to be disinfected before entering Iceland.

Not that I know of.

@@IcelandicElements Can you provide gear if you are guiding a fishing trip in the area of this video?

You can fish without a license on and around the harbour in most towns but most of the coast line is privately owned so you will need a license for that. You will have to disinfect your fishing gear when coming to Iceland. For all fresh water fishing you will need a license.

Glad you enjoyed it

Takk fyrir það Gísli :)

These are all well seasoned, the youngest ones around 3 years old. We don't want to use too many dogs at once to preserve energy and other things so thats why some are left in the boat.

You could say that they are a native type by now but decades ago their forefathers were Fox Terriers. Since then many other breeds have been mixed in. My friend Snorri has been breading them for the last 20+ years, amazing dogs if you ask me.

Orca is a beast!

Thank you for the kind word it keeps us motivated to make more videos. All of the coast line is privately owned but you can fish the harbours and the coastline owned by the towns and the city. I hope that helps. Tight lines!

Þessi tók olive Nobbler held ég alveg örugglega.

@@IcelandicElements já en í þjóðgarðinum

Thank you

Klikkað flottur Eclipse!

They call us for help sometimes.

Hello, the best time to catch the big cod is usually in April and early May. The colours and types of shad I am not sure about but my friend Yoann who is with me in the video is a specialist when it comes to fishing in the ocean, he should be able to answer this question. I specialise in fresh water fishing. I know that silver toby works well.

@@IcelandicElements thanks Pétur for your reply. I hope I’ll come again in the best season for cod fishing, meanwhile I’ll try my luck with your very useful tips! Thanks again

Hello Kenan, I really like your comment since I find this topic very interesting. This sound definitely turns the dogs on! I've also had people make fun of it when I make this sound. Making this sound makes everything much more simple. I only make this sound when I see the mink, as soon as I make it the dogs will notice what direction I am looking and always run that way but as soon as I stop making the sound they know approximately were it is and will start searching that area or spot. I've been using this method for some time now and it works super well for me and my dogs. Thanks for the comment Kenan.

Same here in ireland

@@IcelandicElements I absolutely agree with you that uttering that "kıss kıss" sound makes everything simple. Here in Türkiye, we usually point to the target with the index finger and emphatically say "kıss kıss" and dogs instantly get alarmed and cock up their ears with a serious face. I think those sibilant "sss", when uttered emphatically, turn on the dogs with a sort of primal instinct. We've been using this sound to sic dogs for centuries and I believe it is passed on to generations of dogs genetically. Because even the stray dogs here get alarmed when you make this sound. Let me tell you a funny thing: I've worked in Russia for several years and was suprised to see that they say "kis kis kis" to cats wheh they call them. What is a battle cry for our dogs here is an affectionate call for cats in Russia.☺

@@joelong9693 You make the same sound to sic dogs on?🤔 I didn't know this. Very interesting indeed.

I used to do the same sound back in the days to get cats attention haha but I would not dare doing that today with the dogs around. I have also seen this work on dogs that have never been taught to hunt using this sound, I do have that on video. It definitely turns on something primal in the dogs.

Salmon fishing is amazing, thank you for the comment :)

Thats right!

The mink are not native and are killing allot birds and fish. They have done allot of damage in many areas. The government pays people to hunt them.

@@IcelandicElements and humans don't do any damage?

Hafnarfjörður ;)

@@IcelandicElements thanks alot 15 - 29 april wi ill be in reykjavik. Hopefully i will catch anithyng

It should be a good time to go fishing@@peterlovric5688

Sæll Einar, nei enga hugmynd hvað hefur gerst þar. Hvar fannstu hann í dalnum?

Thank you, I have yes. There is one video on the channel were we are hunting with a young german vorsteh. Hunting with dogs is amazing, mostly hunting mink with terriers my self.

Never caught a Tarpon my self, it is on my list!

Hello Kare, I usually do it after I have made sure the bird is down and not injured. The GoPro is turned off right away because the battery empties really fast in the cold. Sometimes I do it right away. Sometimes I forget in the heat of the moment butt I always pick up old ones after other when I see them on the ground. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Pétur

I personally use my 5wt most of the time. 5-7wt are the most popular. Thank you!

takk fyrir, vonandi hafa menn gaman af..

Hello, thank you for watching and writing this comment it makes me happy.

You are right!! We will keep fighting until they stop!!!!

I think that the Norwegians that own most of the sea pens are given our resources by the government and not paying tax of the money they make here in Iceland.

@@IcelandicElements so do you mean you are okay with forced taxation as long as the money is being used for things you like

Thank you Brynjar for your time to support and fight for the Icelandic wild Salmon. Mad respect ✊

thank you

Thank you for the comment and the support

Hello Bill, you can send me a email [email protected]

I guess you could but we are not allowed to use night vision scopes here in Iceland.

Even if they're invasive

@@Danny-outside yes, you cant use them at all.

@IcelandicElements Whoever makes the rules up clearly doesn't want to get ride of them then.

You are right

Glad you liked it.. thx for watching.

Ég hef gert það nokkrum sinnum, langar þig að sjá video þaðan?

@@IcelandicElements já

Some parts of it yes but not every where.
