Two years before making history with one small step onto the Moon, Neil Armstrong went salmon fishing in northern Iceland.

The striking volcanic landscape of Iceland stood in for the lunar surface in training and Armstrong took the chance to unwind from the pressures of the first manned mission to the moon and fish when he could on the gin-clear rivers.

Skip forward some 50 years and ITV’s new fishing programme “Robson and Jim”s Icelandic Fly Fishing Adventure” is shining a spotlight on one of the true gems of Game fishing, as well as the benefits of the sport.
