60.059-acre Hvanndalir Að Digranesi. Sector 22 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 North 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 667 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 60,179 acres of water rimmed by 40 miles of bank. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 1% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 13.8 mi with a 10.5-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Hvanndalir Að Digranesi - Sector 23, 8 mi east of here.
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.

When the water first warms, atlantic cod slide up into 20 to 100 ft. Summer is a 45 to 180 ft game here, winter a 50 to 220 ft one. Start at Rock reef. It's a rock pile holding about 10 ft of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a heavy metal jig or a large soft-plastic jig rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 100 ft | dawn | Rock reef (10 ft) | Diamond jig, Heavy bucktail |
| Summer | 45 to 180 ft | dawn | Sharp break (156 ft) | Heavy metal jig, Large soft-plastic jig |
| Fall | 25 to 140 ft | dawn | Rock reef (10 ft) | Diamond jig, Bucktail with teaser |
| Winter | 50 to 220 ft | midday | Rock reef (10 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
In spring, haddock run shallow here, mostly 35 to 220 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 60 to 320 ft, and winter fish settle into 70 to 400 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 156 ft, rated good for summer haddock. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a compact metal jig or a bottom rig most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 35 to 220 ft | dawn | Sharp break (156 ft) | Small bottom jig, Beaded trace |
| Summer | 60 to 320 ft | dawn | Sharp break (156 ft) | Compact metal jig, Bottom rig |
| Fall | 45 to 260 ft | midday | Sharp break (156 ft) | Small vertical jig |
| Winter | 70 to 400 ft | midday | Sharp break (156 ft) | Deep bottom jig |
Spring puts saithe (coalfish) in skinny water — 15 to 160 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 25 to 260 ft; cold water stacks them in 45 to 320 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 156 ft, rated prime for summer saithe (coalfish). Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A speed jig or a heavy paddletail covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 160 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Slim metal jig, Paddletail |
| Summer | 25 to 260 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (156 ft) | Speed jig, Heavy paddletail |
| Fall | 20 to 220 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (156 ft) | Metal jig, Baitfish swimbait |
| Winter | 45 to 320 ft | midday | Sharp break (156 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
Spring atlantic mackerel on Hvanndalir Að Digranesi - Sector 22 hold shallow, usually 5 to 45 ft. They move out to 15 to 80 ft in summer and finish the year down in 30 to 120 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 18 ft that grades good for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a feather rig or a small vertical jig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 45 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Mackerel feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Summer | 15 to 80 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Feather rig, Small vertical jig |
| Fall | 10 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Compact silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
| Winter | 30 to 120 ft | midday | Sharp break (141 ft) | Small deep jig |
Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 5 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 50 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 60 ft. Rock reef is the standout, a rock pile at roughly 10 ft, rated good for spring atlantic herring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (10 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 |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic halibut sit in 45 to 350 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 25 to 300 ft covers summer, 100 to 600 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 156 ft of water that rates good for atlantic halibut in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a large swimbait or a slow metal jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 45 to 350 ft | dawn | Sharp break (156 ft) | Large paddletail, Heavy bottom jig |
| Summer | 25 to 300 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (156 ft) | Large swimbait, Slow metal jig |
| Fall | 45 to 380 ft | midday | Sharp break (156 ft) | Heavy paddletail, Bottom jig |
| Winter | 100 to 600 ft | midday | Sharp break (156 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |

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 Hvanndalir Að Digranesi - Sector 22 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.

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.
Official coastal monitoring from Iceland national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the atlantic cod, haddock, saithe (coalfish), atlantic mackerel, atlantic herring, atlantic halibut, ling, cusk (tusk) roster for Hvanndalir Að Digranesi - Sector 22.
