The Ponoi - Acha Camp 

Russia

Russia’s Ponoi River is widely recognized as the world’s most reliable Atlantic salmon river. Stretching more than 400 km through the Russian arctic, the Ponoi is the largest river on the Kola Peninsula and characterized by consistent stable flows, abundant birdlife, long shallow fly-friendly runs and remarkable numbers of willing salmon.

Located at the confluence of the Ponio and the Acha Rivers, the rustic Acha Camp provides jet boat access to prime beats on both the Ponoi and lower Acha. The Acha Camp is a comfortable and jovial camp for serious anglers. The camp features ten small wooden cabins for guests as well as a new sauna house and a rustic main building complete with kitchen dining area, bar, sofas, and a fly tying area.

Packages orginate in Murmansk where anglers are met in the airport after clearing customs and then flown several hours south via helicopter to camp. With unlimited daylight during the prime months of June and July and prolific home pools, this is the die-hard anglers dream trip.

For hearty anglers keen on targeting trophy fish from a simple tent camp, please be sure to ask us about the seldom seen reaches of the new camp on the lower Yokanga camp.
