FRESHWATER FISHING FAROE ISLANDS

Freshwater fishing is also ideal in Vágar due to the many lakes of the Island. It does not require any license to fly fish in any of the lakes of Vágar, and this gives an ideal opportunity to see and experience some of the most impressive views in the Faroes while you catch your own supper. This is ideal in the lakes of Vágar as the trout stock is high in the lakes.
