Blanda River, Iceland 

Iceland

As the country’s longest and most powerful river, it is no surprise that the salmon ascending the Blanda’s numerous chutes and rapids are among Iceland’s strongest. Widely recognized as Iceland’s best June river, the Blanda fishes from June 6 through September 20. Blanda fish average about 10 pounds but fish over 20 pounds are not uncommon and part of the appeal of this large challenging river. Blanda’s riverfront lodge is a full service operation that features twelve double bedrooms with private baths. Anglers fish two per guide and spaces are limited.
