WWFG Fishing Reports

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 Post subject: tlantik Salmon fishing _ Russia 2008

Dear Friends - Superlatives are queuing up when trying to describe our 2007 Russian season on the Ponoi and Kola Rivers. A season we all will remember for both the remarkable fishing and extreme weather conditions.

Our Acha programme on the Ponoi this season once again produced a large number of fish - almost 2600 Salmon between 110 rods, with roughly 43 percent MSW fish. The largest a magnificent trophy of around 30 lbs – The top rod caught 102 salmon in his 6 ½ days fishing - what superb fishing! I doubt there is anywhere else in the world where you can experience such prolific and reliable Atlantic salmon fishing.

The weather this season was tough and unmerciful – throughout all 9 weeks we where buffeted by strong gales and bitterly cold weather - well – we were on the frontier of what is possible, from both a weather and logistics point of view – however many of our rods have already rebooked for 2008 – the Ponoi will rarely let you down!

The Kola River was also a major success in 2007 – listen to this – Five (5) gigantic Salmon well above Forty pounds were caught in June – as well as 30 salmon in the range of 32 to 36 lbs – and plenty of salmon in the twenty pound bracket. In total the Kola River produced roughly 1800 Salmon between 120 rods – the Kola River is a very sensible card to play if you are after big trophy salmon. This non Helicopter programme is especially interesting for those who value accommodation highly. The programme revolves around a luxurious timber camp with a communal building for eating and socializing. Single accommodation is in comfortable cabins and you will have your own personal fishing guide for the whole week.

For 2008 we will be adding 2 new and very thrilling venues to our Russian programme – Western Litsa and Kitsa / Upper Kola / Ura program - Both destinations are “Trophy fish targeted” and represent excellent value for money for the explorers amongst you who are looking for new adventures and rivers.
