This addition to my Laxa i Adaldal collection is named after one of the valley's legends, Völundur Hermóðsson, affectionately known as Völli. The fly represents my attempt to encapsulate the colors of the valley and the unique style of the local guide and innovative fly tier, Pétur Steingrímsson. It made its debut in 2017.
