Baulárvallarvatn graces the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, offering a tranquil haven for fishing enthusiasts.
Located approximately 160 km from Reykjavík, and about 15 km south of both Grundarfjörður and Stykkishólmur, Baulárvallarvatn is easily accessible via the new route on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Spanning 1.6 km2, Baulárvallarvatn reaches a depth of 47 meters at its lowest point. Positioned 193 meters above sea level, the lake is fed by Vatnaá, which contributes to Baulá, later merging with Straumfjarðará, renowned for excellent salmon fishing.
Day licenses for Baulárvallavatn can be conveniently purchased, allowing access to the fishing grounds from the northern bank of Vatnsá to the outlet of Straumfjarðarár.
Campers are welcome to set up tents by the lake, offering a rustic experience with no organized campsites or sanitation facilities.
Baulárvallarvatn is renowned for its trout fishing, with an average fish weight of 2-3 pounds. Larger specimens, reaching 5-6 pounds, are not uncommon, especially during twilight.
Approved baits include flies, worms, and lures. Depending on the depth of the fish, sink the bait accordingly. Lures and worms generally yield good results, especially during twilight when trout move closer to the shore.
Prime fishing conditions persist throughout the summer, with twilight hours generally yielding the best results. Visitors are urged to respect the environment, with cardholders required to carry their fishing cards and ID when visited by the game warden, Halldór Þórólfsson (S: 863-8468).
Anglers are kindly reminded not to litter and to tread lightly on the surroundings. Cardholders must present their Fishing Card and ID to the game warden. Children under 14 fish for free when accompanied by a cardholder. Landowners bear no responsibility for any losses or damages incurred by Fishing Cardholders or others associated with the fishing grounds.
