Russia - Fly-fishing for Atlantic Salmon
Ponoi River Camp
Located just above the Arctic Circle, the Ponoi has grown to be recognized as one of the great Atlantic salmon rivers in the world today. Wildlife is prolific and from May through the summer, the area is practically invaded by a variety of birds of all kinds from ducks, songbirds, falcons and eagles.
The fishing starts in late May and runs through early October. Anglers have reported hooking as many as 75 salmon in a single day although average catches are 25 to 35 fish per six-day week. In July, the temperature rises so dry fly-fishing has proven to be very effective. During the fall run, the catches are usually bigger, weighing between seven and 15 pounds, with some larger surprises.
Double handed rods are used effectively here, but this river does not require heavy tackle. Season runs: May 26 to October 6, 2012.
Includes: Roundtrip air transportation from Murmansk to the Ponoi River camp, all meals and accommodations at the river, fishing permits, one guide, boat and motor for each two anglers, plus allocated time in camp helicopter for quick delivery to more remote beats while at the river.
