Miðfjarðará is one fishery spanning four rivers — the main stem plus the Austurá, Vesturá and Núpsá — around 115 km of private water with more than 200 named pools, fished by a strictly limited rod allocation (commonly described as 5–10 rods) rotating over five beats, two anglers per guide, from a full-service lodge. There is no national licence; access is a multi-day lodge package, not a day ticket, and 'where you fish' is assigned by rotation across the branches. All salmon must be released, with catch caps of two salmon per pool and four per session. Confirm the current rod count (sources disagree between five and six-to-ten) and rotation map before relying on this.
