Kola/Kitza rivers - Probably
the biggest Salmon on this Planet.
Read this letter from
the camp manager:-
Dear
Sir!
After my
many years on the Kola Peninsular where I have been privilege to
fished all the famous rivers up there - 2006 season in Ponoi indicated
clearly this exceptional river potential I will without any doubt
claim that in Ponoi you get the most reliable Salmon fishing on the
kola peninsular I will even go further you will probably get
the best Salmon fishing in world today - There are rivers on the Kola
where you have a chance to catch bigger fish, and there are possibly
places where you can hook bigger numbers of smaller fish - but the
unique mix of quantity and quality you will find on the Ponoi is
unparalleled!
Catch
statistic for Ponoi
2003 -
2287 Salmon in six weeks between 56 rods.
2004 -
1851 Salmon in Seven weeks between 66 rods.
2006 -
2441 Salmon in Seven weeks between 70 rods - 40 to 45 percent of these
Salmon was between 11 lbs. up 24 lbs.
Kola
river Ever heard about the river Alta in
Norway
? well the Kola river is almost equivalent to Alta This season
(2006) our guests caught 1640 salmon between 70 rods the largest
trophy was a 44 pound fish 22 Salmon averaging 32 pounds and
plenty of salmon in the region of twenty pounds.
No
where on earth is there a better chance
to get into one of those monster salmon than on the Kola River
just listening to Arni Baldursson and what he has to say - I have
now fished the Kola for 3 years and before that I had never caught a
salmon over 30 pounds. During my previous 30 years fishing I had
landed 25 salmon of between 20 and 30 pounds now having fished the
Kola river for only three seasons I have landed over 70 salmon between
20 and 30 pounds and 4 salmon over 30 pounds plus a 44 pounder
monster.

Our
Acha camp produced 2006 nearly 2500 Salmon to 70 rods and three weeks
in a row we averaged 43 Salmon per rod the last week in June the
average went up to 46 Salmon per rod our July fishing gave a
very high number of fresh fish with a good number of Big fish up to 22
lbs. Roughly 30 percent of the total catch of Salmon was between 14
lbs. to 22 lbs. Henrik Nilsen Denmark became top rod in the middle of
July with a total catch of 75 Salmon during his 6 days fishing and
several others ended up close to the same number - Oh yes this Ponoi
season was really something.
Next
year 2007 we will continue with our upgrading of the Acha camp the
two well know Scandinavian Fishing guides Andreas Andersson and
Steffan Jensen will join to team of Acha guide (both of them have
graduated from famous Swedish fishing Guide academies) both with a
high reputation for their Scandinavian casting skills and sense for
excellent guiding.
Four
new huts will be added to the six existing huts that means that we
can now guarantee single accommodation for all Acha rods. All huts
will be upgraded with new sleeping bags and mattresses also a new
Shower / Sauna house have just been completed in the camp.
Finally
we are going to launch two new Ponoi programs in 2007 Acha autumn
program running during the prime weeks of September , plus the 80
kilometres Acha / Pacha program in July beginning of August where
you have the chance to fish both camps 3 days each camp both
programs will be on the inexpensive side, and represent very high
value for the money.
Kola
river
Kola
river
Ever
heard about river Alta in
Norway
? Kola river is almost equivalent to Alta, and what a success -
2006 produced 1640 Salmon to 70 rods the largest Salmon was a 44
lbs monster 22 Salmon averaging 32 lbs. and plenty of Salmon
in the region of Twenty pounds. Very few places on earth offer a
better chance to get into one of
those
monsters than in
Kola
River
just listening to Arni Baldursson and what he has to say -
I
have fished Kola now for 2 years and before I had never caught a
salmon over 30 pounds. During my previous 30 fishing years I had only
landed 25 salmon of between 20 and 30 pounds, after fishing Kola river
now for three years only I have landed over 70 salmon between 20 and
30 pounds and 4 salmon over 30 pounds plus a 44 lbs. Monster fish
We
have managed to buy out the local fishing licence and control the
river much more efficiently, and this season we hardly experienced any
poaching.
This
non Helicopter program 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.
Umba
river
Umba
has for many years been one of the most respected and best well know
rivers on Kola. This year 2006 Lax-α obtained exclusive rights during
the prime period from the end of August til early October.. Many
experienced salmon fishermen who have fished on the Kola peninsular
and its plethora of fantastic rivers claim that Umba beats everything
in terms of beauty, superb accommodation and, of course, the dramatic
autumn fishing in the most breathtaking surroundings
To
swing a fly through Umba΄s gin clear water on a crisp cold September
morning is almost a surreal experience ranking amongst the most
exciting moments in Salmon fishing.
Writing
these lines we still have two weeks more in front of us in Umba so
far Umba has fished acceptably with some of the great Umba whoppers
who have given Umba its reputation so far we averaged around 70
fish per week, with some Twenty pound plus fish and several fish just
under that magic figure.
2006 was a excellent
season on the Kola river , the first week of the season started the
27th May , very hard to get rods in to the first week! We ended up 4
rods fishing and we had the best time ever in our fishing lives... we
landed 65 salmon and the average weight was well over 20 pounds and
several over 40 pounds.
More rods came
in to the second week of June , 2 - 9th June , still only big salmon
around and the average weight just at 20 pounds , rods where catching
from 5 to 22 salmon a week. All beats where doing well , best though
was the Reindeer beat , the Junction , Monica and Pump pool , Home
pool was also always good.
The whole of June
fished very well , as it came later in to June more fish came
, but numbers of smaller fish coming in mixed with the Kola monster ,
small fish on Kola river is 10 to 15 pound!
Massive 36 pounder

pounders.
