Overview
For families, couples and groups looking for a classy, turn-key, activity-rich base from which to enjoy a wide range of guided activities, Deplar Farm is the proverbial end of the rainbow. Ringed by massive peaks, their elegantly refurbished farmhouse-turned-luxury lodge enables easy access to an array of exclusive northern salmon rivers in addition to an incredibly wide range of well-organized outdoor experiences. With fishing, hiking, sea kayaking, mountain biking and coastal tours, as well as an acclaimed spring heli-skiing program where you can descend from summit to the sea, Deplar Farm is in a class by itself.
Fishing Program
The Rivers:
The Fljotaa River: A small, exclusive river five miles from the lodge that holds a good salmon run with fish in the 8 to 15-pound range. Only four anglers per day are allowed on the river so anglers will have exclusive use of the four individual beats on the river.
The Holkna River: Possibly the most exclusive and remote salmon river in all of Iceland. The Holkna only allows two anglers on an 8-mile stretch of river with 27 marked pools and countless unmarked pools. The Holkna is one of the gems of Iceland due to it being catch-and-release and fly angling only.
The Huseyjarkvisl: One of the only rivers in Iceland that offers world-class salmon and sea trout fishing. Only three anglers per day are allowed on the river that is only an hour from Deplar Farm.
