Gremikha
The waters of the Yokanga are home to some of the largest Atlantic salmon on the Kola Peninsula and provide a challenging environment in which to fish. We see well over 100 salmon over the magic 20lb mark landed every season with the record year producing over 250 salmon of this size to less than 100 rods. Among these figures are a good number of 30+lb fish and numerous fishermen have landed their largest Atlantic salmon on the Yokanga. The river provides a real chance of big salmon in a true wilderness environment yet with all creature comforts a fisherman may require.
The impressive waters of the Yokanga cascade through a boulder-strewn course, creating some of the most diverse and varied fly fishing water imaginable. Guests fishing the Gremikha water fish the lowest 9km of the Yokanga starting below the Yokanga Lake and down to the tidal water. Much of the water is rapids although there are some excellent holding pools as well. In addition to the classic pools, and depending on water height, there are small bays, points or large rocks where fish rest before heading on upstream.
