Blanda River in Strandir
Blanda river runs on the southwest side of the glacier Höfsjökull and flows into the Húnaflói bay at Blönduós. If you are a fan of fishing, Blanda is the perfect spot for you. The river is one of the main salmon rivers in Iceland and in recent history has yielded a catch of almost 3000 salmon in one summer. Before the river was dammed in 1990, the salmon spawning grounds reached the foot of the glaciers. Amazing scenery and great fishing sums up a trip to Strandir and the Blanda River.
