We have just heard that river Blanda is now up to 4230 salmon caught this summer. Not only is this a all-time record for the river, this is also a new Icelandic record for most salmon caught in a naturally stocked river. The previous record is from Þverá/Kjarará from 2005 when 4165 salmon were caught.

River Blanda has been on fire all throughout the summer with enormous salmon runs. In beat one which has only four rods, about 2500 salmon have been caught. You can just imagine the salmon to rod ratio per day!

If you want to try the best natural river in Iceland send me a line and I will happily arrange a great trip for you.
