History
Ein af þekktustu laxveiðiám landsins og ein mesta stórlaxaá Íslands. Upptök árinnar er áheiðum frammi. Þar tínast til lækir og lindir og síðan bætist Fitjá í aðalána. Fitjá er sjálf góð veiðiá og gefur oft fyrstu laxana á vorin. Veitt er á sjö stangir á svæðinu og er bakkalengd mikil og veiðistaðir margir og fjölbreytilegir.
Gríðarlega mikil og væn sjóbleikja er og í ánni, en hún fellur í Hópið, sem er hálfsöltblanda af sjávarlóni og stöðuvatni. Áin hefur verið að drattast á milli 600 og 800 laxa veiði síðustu sumur, en bestu árin hafa skilað vel yfir1000 löxum á þurrt. Mikil uppsveifla er nú í ánum og fór veiðin 2009 yfir 2000 laxa
