For some time now I have heard whispers of the trout fishing in Iceland and I was dubious at best.

Throughout this series, I have tried to bring a glimpse of what is going on at the frontier of fly fishing for trout & grayling, though have not really explored other developments, such as fly fishing for other species and, notably, salt water.
