Iceland & Norway Packing List

Packing for a Fly-Fishing Trip to Iceland or Norway

The Orvis Iceland & Norway Packing List collection includes the clothing and fly-fishing gear you need to travel to these maritime climates. A trip to Iceland in summer demands layers for the ever-changing but always-windy weather. Our PRO LT softshell pullover offers protection from the elements but packs down easily if the temperatures rise. Pack for cold days on your Iceland or Norway trip with our PRO insulated hoodie in tow, a high-tech performance jacket created for fly fishing but useful for any wet, chilly conditions. Select from a series of stretch casting shirts with moisture-wicking, quick-dry properties. These base layers are ideal for days swinging for Arctic char, browns, or Atlantic salmon. Our Recycled Sweater Fleece Vest and quarter-zip fleece pullovers serve as perfect warming layers. If you need gear, browse our two-handed fly rods or elite Helios rods for your Icelandic and Norwegian quarry. Complete your fly-fishing kit with exceptional Hydros lines designed for salmon and trout. Any Orvis reel in this collection ensures you’re traveling to Iceland or Norway with the best of the best on your rod. Refer to the Iceland and Norway packing checklist below for the essentials you’ll need for your fly-fishing trip.
