RUSSIA: THE PONOI AND KAMCHATKA KAMCHATKA: If there was a list of recently discovered destinations that could be termed controversial, Kamchatka would be at the top of the list. Many will tell you of the wonderful rainbow trout and steelhead fishery and have stories and photos to back it up. Others talk about the travel hardships and logistical nightmares for a relatively average fishing experience. From my personal experiences, I’m in the second category. However, it certainly is an adventure and you definitely can “hit it right.” My personal recommendation is consider a trip if you hunger for the adventure of visiting Russia because that part of the experience does make it unique and worth some hassles. We work with a US outfitter who did the first exploratory trips to Kamchatka and provides a wilderness float trip adventure through some of the remaining remote areas.
THE PONOI RIVER: The reputation of the Ponoi River as the world’s most outstanding Atlantic Salmon fishery is not in doubt. Proof is the great number of fly fishers who fanatically pursue Atlantic Salmon and take this trek every year making space very hard to obtain.
In less than a decade, the Ponoi has grown to be recognized as one of the great fisheries in the world today. The massive and improving runs, consistent across a long season, provide aggressive and free-taking fish. The Ponoi provides Atlantic salmon fishing in two of its purest forms: almost all floating line fishing and excellent opportunities to fish skated dry flies.
