Not cheap for sure! Cheapest is $4,265, up to $9,370.

It seems they have the same situation as in most of Europe, where the land owners control the river. I'm lucky, that I have access in Ireland as my cousin lives there, and have caught fish. It was my impression that most land was actually public land, as most of Iceland is not suitable for agriculture or cabins. I'd like to research that, as I would assume that there are large areas (which may have difficulty actually accessing) that would not be privately owned.

It's an interesting thought!
