Overview

Blanda IV, the uppermost beat on the Blanda River, is a haven for sight fishing enthusiasts. Fished with three rods, this beat stands apart from the lower sections of the river, where glacial waters have a milky blue tint. Here, the water is gin-clear until the Blanda reservoir in the highlands overflows. Unlike the powerful currents of the lower beats, Beat IV is more delicate, making it ideal for fishing with a single-hand rod.

Many anglers consider Blanda IV to offer some of the most breathtaking scenery they’ve ever encountered while fishing in Iceland. The lower part of the beat is easily accessible by car, but the canyon terrain is challenging and mostly reached on foot. Walking down the Rugludalur Canyon to fish for Atlantic salmon is an unforgettable adventure for any angler seeking both beauty and challenge.

Blanda IV has long been a favorite among anglers due to its consistently excellent fishing, particularly for its high proportion of multi sea winter (MSW) salmon.

The schedule is as follows: fish a half day in the afternoon on day of arrival, followed by full days fishing, and then fish a half day on the morning on day of departure. This means you will get, for example, four full days fishing spread over five calendar days. The exact beat rotation will be established at the Lodge on your day of arrival. 

Nestled in a secluded spot right along the salmon fishing beat, Blanda IV Lodge offers anglers a cozy and remote retreat. This charming farmhouse provides accommodation in six twin beds and a sofa bed for additional guests. The gin-clear river is just a short walk away, making it easy to access the pools directly from the lodge. A maximum of three rods can be fished however rod sharing is allowed. 

Despite its remote location, the lodge is fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, including internet access. Recently renovated, the lodge features a well-appointed kitchen and a beautiful patio overlooking the river, complete with a BBQ grill for outdoor dining. All beds are made up, and towels are provided, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay.

Your booking includes your fishing and self-catering accommodation in Blanda 4 Lodge. Flights, transfers, equipment and food/drink are not included. Blanda 4 is around 160 miles from Reykjavík, although the nearest airport is Akureyri which is 75 miles away.
