Hey guys –
I have an obscure fascination with extremely remote places, particularly if they hold fish.
I had the chance to wet a line in Reykajavik. Completely by accident. Not an actual planned fishing trip. Got stuck there on a long layover and there happened to be a fishing store close to the hotel. My brit friend whom I was traveling with still jokes about the name of the shop … “perfect tackle”. I think you might have to be a brit to get the joke.
Anyway they let me borrow some gear to try for sea run cutthroat in the harbor within sight of the shop. Didn’t catch anything but it was a great way to kill a couple hours.
Since then it has peaked my interest in the fishing possibilities in Iceland. Alot of it private or protected water , but extremely remote and a terrific fishery.
Good chance that I’ll schedule a longer layover next time through and explore.
Kerguelen looks like it could be Iceland’s (less populated) twin in the southern hemisphere.
