Fly fishing the Varzina River for atlantic salmon is one of life's truly remote wilderness experiences. In the middle of this rugged beauty sits the finest salmon fishing camp in Russia, the Varzina River Lodge. The Varzina River Lodge harbors the fishing headquarters of the Varzina River Company. Within a radius of 24 kilometers from the lodge are some of the most productive fly pools ever fished. Daily helicopter flights take fishermen to different pools of Varzina and Penka rivers to catch the salmon of their lifetime. The powerful Varzina starts high in the upland tundra from Lake Enozero which feeds cool oxygen-rich water down the Varzina all season long. Atlantic salmon run all 13 miles of Varzina proper, but the most fished pools are on the lowest sections. Clearly defined pools include classic glides, runs, riffles and deep holes that hold very large fish every season. Many 33+ lbs fish are hooked, some are even landed. This is the true spirit of Atlantic salmon fishing. While most of the fishing is reached by a helicopter, some of the very best pools are within a comfortable walking distance from the Lodge. Many an evening outing after dinner has produced a trophy salmon within sight of the Varzina lounge bar!
Fly Odyssey runs hosted group trips to the Varzina River Lodge during the prime months of June and July. Sean Clarke of Farlows, Pall Mall, a previous camp manager, ensures all aspects of a trip to the Varzina River runs smoothly. Our clients have managed their personal best atlantic salmon from this lodge with a 28 lb fish landed during the 2010 hosted trips. For individual rods or group bookings Fly Odyssey can provide the ultimate trip the Varzina River.
