View Original Description
The Ponoi River, one of the world’s most prolific producers of Salmon, is found on the Russia’s Kola Peninsula. The river is parallel to and just north of the Arctic Circle feeding a number of pristine lakes along its 400 kilometer run before emptying into the Barents Sea. The Ponoi’s width ranges from 60 to 150 meters and provides fantastic opportunities for Fly Fisherman seeking the highly prized Salmon from either the deck of a boat or wading. A number of fishing camps operating with highly trained guides along the River are accessible primarily by helicopter after charter flights from Helsinki, Moscow or St. Petersburg to the Russian town of Murmansk.
The Ponoi is considered to be very readable and in spite of its size is quite accessible while providing ample locations for catching prized Salmon. The River flows consistently throughout the year with the months between March and July the best from the perspective of the weather. Fishermen from around the world consider the Ponoi River the best Salmon river on the planet.
