Photograph Wayne Wallace "Lifetime memories can't be better than this. In Iceland in August 2005, with only a single day to get to the river and see about some fishing, Palmi got us in, hooked us up with beautiful fish, and took us to a nice local home for an Icelandic dinner."

Photograph Greg Burchstead "The first day I landed a 15 lb. plus fish that just sent adrenaline through me. He jumped numerous times and fought hard. The Guides put us over fish every day. To fish over fish every day, cast after cast is an exercise in learning the drifts and changing flies constantly is how you find the fly that brings one up. When he comes up the thrill of the take is unbelievable."

The great thing about Frank and the people who stay there is they really make you feel like family. Everyone was catching Dollies and Cutthrout Trouts, when my mother hooked a monster. As it was taking the line off her reel, I must have gotten the fish's mate, as I hook this monster who proceeded to do the same to my reel. A hour later I've got the lodge record !!!."
