The remote Hölkná River slices through the volcanic basalt that built the island nation of Iceland, interrupting the verdant countryside as it tumbles over cataracts and flows deep and green on its way to the sea. Every summer, dime-bright Atlantic salmon return to the river to complete a cycle that's eons old. Situated above the river rests a pair of quaint, yet perfectly appointed, off-the-grid cabins that put you right in the middle of eight miles Atlantic salmon river.

Atlantic salmon might be the most storied and prized fish for fly anglers. And Flowers River Lodge, the northernmost scheduled salmon river in North America, is perhaps the best destination in the hemisphere for die-hard fly anglers looking to tangle with a fish of a lifetime. Every summer, Atlantic salmon course up the stunning Flowers River on their annual migration, and anglers smart enough to book a trip to Flowers River Lodge are there to meet them.
