Yokanga River, Russia - Fly Fishing for Atlantic Salmon

Fly fishing on the Yokanga River in Russia for some of the world's largest Atlantic Salmon. The river is situated on the north-eastern coast of the Kola Peninsula.
Due to its remoteness, the Kola Peninsula is one of the last places on the globe to find healthy populations of wild Atlantic Salmon. Venture out and you will find true wilderness.
Location: Yokanga Lodge - operated by Roxtons Field Sports

[@FlyFishingNation]

Don't you think the very obvious title: "Yokanga River..." is a dead giveaway even for the dumbest viewers?

The Fing music is composed to piss fisherman Off , the last time I went ( about 14 years ago) The fishing was okay ISH . But got pissed off with the bad attitude of the guide we had , therefore Never been back. You don't pay nearly 10k To be fxxxxd around by a young know it all Who was more interested in sitting on a rock smoking, do you?

[@dylanmaccuspic4904]

Come to Eastern Canada and fish Atlantic’s for dirt cheap. I don’t know why people pay such crazy money when you could spend 3 months fishing here for that price. 🇨🇦

[@12dougreed]

@@dylanmaccuspic4904 yes I agree with you, The problem is that being one of the many Salmon fishing fanatics it's easy to fall for these adverts Also part of the trick is make it expensive so you think you are getting the best..To tell the truth not really worth the trouble. Especially the 2 hour wait in a queue to get through Russian passport control at Murmansk, the 2 hour helicopter trip to the lodge. Our helicopter was in a very bad condition .

[@12dougreed]

Yes the two hour wait is a real pain. I agree with your comment on the pricing, to tell the truth we found that the fishing was slow, they blamed it on the weather ( too warm) I must say that the food was great and the accomodation. I've done a lot of helicopter flying in my life, but this was the first time I had been on one that had a living room mirror hanging from the wall with a bit of string
