Chavanga river fishing report 15.06 - 21.06

This middle of June 2018 was already a summer over her on Kola Peninsula, few really hot days turned out only by the end of the third week. The water warmed up to 18 degrees, but quickly returned to a comfortable 16 degrees. The water level during those week was dropping constantly, but at the very close pace, so all of the days were comfortable for fishing. Grills weighing 2.5 - 3 kg have appeared in the river, as a rule, these are very lively males that just arrived from th

Chavanga river fishing report 07.06 - 14.06

The ideal situation for the beginning of the season is fishing active fish in the winter holding pools. On some rivers of the Kola Peninsula this is a common practice. In the middle or upper parts of the rivers, large number of salmons gather in such pools to stay during the winter. Some camps are located near those places. The first weeks of the salmon fishing season, most fish are caught in those holding pools, often called as as aquarium, later the fish is spreading along

Chavanga river fishing report 01.06 - 07.06

The beginning of salmon fishing season on the Kola Peninsula usually starts at the end of May. On the Chavanga river the season shifts sometimes for a week or two earlier but it happens once in two or three years. Usually the river is more or less accessible and comfortable to fly fishing at the end of May. The main question that arises when fly fishing salmon at this time - where is the fish? The choice of tackles or flies, in my opinion, is a secondary or even a matter of m

Why i lost my salmon?! How to land fish

This fall on the rivers of Kola Peninsula we lost an unusually large number of salmon. Two fish out of three went off the hook. We have already discussed salmon behaviour, but I want to draw your attention to the tactics of fighting salmon, on aspects that, in my opinion, could lead to loss of fish. I will focus only on regular situations often occurring and will not consider all possible options. Just want to say that we do not use boats or guides with giant nets, patiently

How many salmon in the river. Salmon bite!

The principles of presentation / control over the fly when fishing salmon are no different from those when fishing other salmon species. In 90% of cases, we fish salmon by a method that is described as a wet fly method (we'll talk about the streamer and other methods separately). If you understand the principles of fishing trout or grayling on the wet fly, agree with me that these skills can be used when fishing salmon. Then the meaning of what I mean by the correct presentat

The number of salmons and number of bites

Salmon bite is enough objective indication that there is salmon in the river. The more bites, the more fish in the river. Consequently, the smaller the number of bites, the less salmon in the water. Everything seems logical, but it only seems so. Fresh example from the Chavanga River: one fisherman per week has 65 bites, 36 salmon caught. Another angler at the same time period has only 5 bites, 2 salmon are caught. Are there many fish in the river or not? Is it possible

How many salmon in the river. Evidence of attack

Other evidence of number of salmon in the river we can get already in the process of fishing. Still, most of the time we spend not observing jumping fish but in trying to catch it. We must take into account that counting fish bites is even more questionable way of estimating the numbers of fish than its jumps. But we have no other way, and sometimes it does happen that catching gives a fairly correct answer. Here you can underline 2 parts, one of which relates to our visual s

Autumn season salmon fishing notes

After a few years with really unpredictable weather in May - June some of our guests turned their heads to Autumn fishing period. I can't say that Autumn period is better or more productive. September and October also occasionally surprise us with its weather conditions. We remember extremely early winter in 2014, when ice appeared on the river in early October. Salmon run and its activity heavily depend on water level and temperature. But as for me, salmon run in Autumn is w

Salmon fishing, Chavanga river, Kola Peninsula.

Early spring at the mid of June. So the end of May and the beggining of June were characterised by: 1. High water level 2. Low water temperature 3. Low salmon activity 4. Few fishing pool available 5. Few fresh fish in the river 6.

Attempts to fish in the main stre

Chavanga river. June 2017. Crazy weather!

Salmon fishing season in 2017 has been delayed by 3 weeks. In recent years we got used to early start of the season, but this year is truly unique. A large amount of snow and ice on the banks of the river and in the tundra, even in June. Warming caused a massive rise in the water level, which became the main cause of problems for our fishermen. So, in the period from 04 to 06 June, the water level in the Chavanga river increased by 35 cm. In my opinion, in the beginning of J

Big salmon on the Kola river

Here is another interesting option for fishing on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. The only airport here - is the airport of Murmansk . Almost every angler who comes here from Europe or America is forced to spend a day or two or even three days to wait for helicopter or other transport to get to the river. Many anglers believe that it makes no sense to spend these days in the hotel, if you can spend that time fishing. So we want to offer you the option , which includes one, two

Estimated number of salmon in your chosen time

Discussing plans for salmon fishing on the Kola Peninsula in the coming season, I often get the question of alleged catches, the average number of fish caught per day, and so on. This is a common question that interested each angler who is looking for himself fishing tour at the new location. The question is simple, but the answer is not simply to it. Earlier, speaking about effective salmon flies, I drew attention to the fact that last year's successful flies do not necessar

Overview of salmon season on the river Strelna

Strelna River is attractive with plenty of salmon, which are collected in the spring on the lower portion of the river. In the future, the salmon is distributed along the river and its fishing requires great effort. But always remain areas where you can expect a good catch. The first is the mouth of the river and parking salmon among waterfalls and stretches with rapids located upstream. In this season early spring has led to a rapid and significant decrease in the water lev

Chavanga river. First results of new salmon season 2016

Last year, in October and November we observed intensive salmon course from the sea in to the river. Therefore, we know that at the beginning of the season a lot of overwintered fish stay in the big pools like Cable pool or Pokosy. Now the water level turned out to be comfortable, and the water temperature gradually decreased after the May heat. A few cold days in early June led temperature to decrease from 14 to 11-12 degrees. Water was clear and transparent.

Varzuga river salmon fishing. Last week of May

We are all eagerly awaiting the opening of our salmon fishing season on the Kola Peninsula. First of all we worried about the weather forecast, because the nature of the spring determines the conditions and the result of fishing during the first weeks of the season. In our first program was listed Varzuga river. Unfortunately, we are not pleased with the news. Information received from local residents, has confirmed our fears. Spring has come too early, the river free of ice
