Russia Fishing Holidays: experience the last undiscovered wilderness of fly fishing
When it comes to outstanding fly-fishing rivers for Atlantic Salmon Russia's Kola Peninsula stands head and shoulders above the rest of the world as the ultimate destination for truly outstanding Salmon Fishing. There is a huge variety of Rivers, some of which contain healthy runs of almost untameable submarine sized Salmon whilst others are prolific beyond imagination. Almost all are in wild and rugged areas making a trip to the Kola Peninsula not just a Salmon fishers paradise but at the same time an absolute wilderness retreat.
WhereWiseMenFish forms an association with the Atlantic Salmon Reserve
The Atlantic Salmon Reserve, founded by Peter Power, retains exclusive control over the management and invitations to all guests who visit the territory through the Northern Rivers Company of Murmansk. As the result of a long standing friendship Peter has appointed Justin Maxwell Stuart to act as one of his personal "Advisors" and as such given Justin the opportunity to be "Host" for a number of weeks over the forthcoming season inviting parties of rods to fish the Kharlovka, Litza & Rynda Rivers.
Hosted Weeks on the Kharlovka, Litza & Rynda by Justin Maxwell Stuart
The nature of this expedition means that it is only suitable for seasoned and intrepid anglers. It is a true wilderness experience and you will be fishing, rafting and sleeping in areas that will rarely ever have born witness to humans let alone fishermen. Individuals must be self-sufficient, possess a strong sense of adventure and be open to potential adversities.
The Kola Peninsula is a unique environment in which to fish. It encompasses simply a long list of the best Salmon fishing Rivers in the world: Kharlovka, Litza, Rynda, Kola, Ponoi, Varzina, Yokanga, Varzuga and Umba as well as numerous smaller rivers and tributaries. A general introduction to the fishing, its allure and the 'WhereWiseMenFish Rivers' we love and have comprehensive knowledge of.
Although the fishing on the Kharlovka, Litza & Rynda is simply excellent the level of service and extensive use of helicopters will make it prohibitively expensive for some. New for 2010 is the introduction of both a limited helicopter programme and the Tundra Adventure Walking Programme. These trips are substantially cheaper than the full helicopter weeks and provide an excellent means of fishing three of the foremost Salmon Rivers in the world.
There are few rivers which have quite the kudos of the Atlantic Salmon fishing on offer at both the Kharlovka & Litza Rivers. The Litza is frequently referred to as the ultimate Salmon River consisting of waterfalls, gorge and huge Salmon. The Kharlovka River fished in conjunction with the Litza is the location of the main camp has one of the best home pools in existence and an equal share of 30-40lb + Atlantic Salmon.
The Rynda could be likened to an exquisite medium sized Scottish Highland River. Home of Peter Power, founder of the Atlantic Salmon Reserve and catering for just 12 guests it is a fishing lodge where exclusivity is combined with simply outstanding service. The river has very strong runs of sizeable MSW Salmon up to and beyond 40lbs whilst being augmented by an equally healthy runs of grilse. Combined with the Zolotoya the Rynda is a true fisherman's river.
