First of all a happy new year to all you salmon junkies.

I am sure that for most of you Salmon Junkies out there, January and February are some tough months, where it is a matter of survival, literally like the many Osenka salmon resting under the thick ice cover right now in Ponoi and Umba... waiting for warmer weather to continue there run to reach the spawning grounds.

Fortunately spring will soon arrive. I have been looking into our programme and handpicked some inexpensive but high value trips for you to consider for lower budget fishing. Fishing in some of the finest salmon rivers in the world, at only half to one third of the price asked by other operators on the Kola Peninsula.

Ponoi River - In Acha Camp you will find our comfortable camp located right at the awesome junction of Acha River and Ponoi River. Even in the early season the two weeks listed below will produce very high numbers of salmon. If you know how to swing a Spey rod you may already set aside two pages in your catch journal if you pick one of these two weeks.
