The Wild Trout Trust

A charity dedicated to the conservation of wild trout in Britain and Ireland. Through the protection and the restoration of their habitats.

The WTT acts as a catalyst in stimulating hands-on, in-the-water, habitat-improvement projects at a grass-roots level, effectively helping others to help themselves in the most cost-effective and efficient way. Any individual or organisation responsible for a wild trout population - riparian owner, fishing club, community volunteer group, another charity, etc - anywhere in the UK or Ireland, can call on the Trust for help, advice and support.

Fish Iceland

Whilst Iceland is synonymous with events such as the financial crisis, Eyjafjallajökull (yes, you remember the pesky volcano which spewed ash and closed European airspace) and recent tussles over mackerel quotas (ok, let's not go there), it has never been a better time to plan a fishing trip to the land of fire and ice.

In his enlightening presentation Jon Sigurdsson sets out to dispel some of the myths associated with this amazing island and open your eyes to a world of fly-fishing opportunities for salmon, trout and Arctic char to suit all pockets.

Let's face it, your money now goes further than before, the volcano has gone back to sleep and there are plenty more fish in the sea. ;-)

In 2008 Jon established FishIceland in partnership with FishPal Ltd, the internet's leading provider of online booking and information for the angling community. FishIceland's comprehensive website, coupled with Jon’s dedication to providing an unrivalled level of service, means that planning your fishing trip to Iceland couldn’t be easier.
