33.415-acre Digranes Að Lóni. Sector 17 Iceland coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Icelandic MFRI/ISL hydrographic DTM with traceable CDI surveys contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Icelandic WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in East Iceland Fjords. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 400 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit official hydrographic-chart depth models, so the contours are chart-derived rather than computer-modeled; no directly measured sounding coverage is claimed. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 17 maps at 33,418 acres behind 43.7 miles of shoreline. With a 1.7 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 2% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 14 mi of water from one end to the other, 9.4 mi at the beam. If the bite dies, Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 15 is 9 mi to the north.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Spring puts atlantic cod in skinny water — 20 to 100 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 45 to 180 ft, wintering in 50 to 220 ft. Spring atlantic cod concentrate at Rock reef, a good-rated rock pile around 12 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A heavy metal jig or a large soft-plastic jig covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 100 ft | dawn | Rock reef (12 ft) | Diamond jig, Heavy bucktail |
| Summer | 45 to 180 ft | dawn | Sharp break (103 ft) | Heavy metal jig, Large soft-plastic jig |
| Fall | 25 to 140 ft | dawn | Rock reef (12 ft) | Diamond jig, Bucktail with teaser |
| Winter | 50 to 220 ft | midday | Rock reef (12 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
Come spring, look for haddock tight to the bank in 35 to 220 ft. They move out to 60 to 320 ft in summer and finish the year down in 70 to 400 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 396 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning. A compact metal jig or a bottom rig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 35 to 220 ft | dawn | Sharp break (103 ft) | Small bottom jig, Beaded trace |
| Summer | 60 to 320 ft | dawn | Sharp break (103 ft) | Compact metal jig, Bottom rig |
| Fall | 45 to 260 ft | midday | Sharp break (103 ft) | Small vertical jig |
| Winter | 70 to 400 ft | midday | Deepest basin (396 ft) | Deep bottom jig |
Spring saithe (coalfish) on Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 17 hold shallow, usually 15 to 160 ft. They move out to 25 to 260 ft in summer and finish the year down in 45 to 320 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 103 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a speed jig or a heavy paddletail.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 160 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Slim metal jig, Paddletail |
| Summer | 25 to 260 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (103 ft) | Speed jig, Heavy paddletail |
| Fall | 20 to 220 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (103 ft) | Metal jig, Baitfish swimbait |
| Winter | 45 to 320 ft | midday | Sharp break (103 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
Spring puts atlantic mackerel in skinny water — 5 to 45 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 80 ft; cold water stacks them in 30 to 120 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 84 ft, rated good for summer atlantic mackerel. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A feather rig or a small vertical jig covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 45 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Mackerel feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Summer | 15 to 80 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (84 ft) | Feather rig, Small vertical jig |
| Fall | 10 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Compact silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
| Winter | 30 to 120 ft | midday | Sharp break (103 ft) | Small deep jig |
Spring atlantic herring on Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 17 hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 15 to 50 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 60 ft. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 12 ft that grades good for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (12 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
When the water first warms, atlantic halibut slide up into 45 to 350 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 25 to 300 ft, winter 67 to 400 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 396 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a large swimbait or a slow metal jig rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Icelandic Coast Guard Hydrographic Department and official harbour review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Iceland waters are set by the Government of Iceland fisheries guidance — and special regulations can apply to Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 17 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Iceland's live fisheries legislation, Directorate of Fisheries notices, protected-area terms and local land-access rules before every coastal trip. Species closures, protected spawning areas, minimum sizes, gear controls and rules near privately controlled shores can change. Individual protected areas have their own terms, while harbours, exposed coasts, weather and navigation hazards add separate restrictions. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or harbour reference never grants fishing, retention, entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.
