In the deep, crystal-clear waters of Lake Thingvallavatn, brown trout often cruise the edges, especially during dawn and dusk. Target these trophy fish using a size 10 Woolly Bugger in black or olive, stripping it slowly along submerged structures. As temperatures rise, focus on deeper sections where the trout seek cooler water, typically around 10-15°C during summer.

When exploring smaller highland streams, cast a size 16 Elk Hair Caddis to mimic natural insect hatches. The late afternoon is prime time, especially when mayflies and caddisflies are active. Brown trout in these waters respond eagerly to a well-placed dry fly.
