Middle Varzuga
Middle Varzuga
Russia's Kola Peninsula is the last stronghold for Atlantic salmon fishing in the world. This purely natural resource, where there is no need for re-stocking and no desperate measures to save the future, is a wilderness where dreams can and regularly do come true on an astounding scale.
The Varzuga has been fished for food for centuries before and now we are very privileged to be allowed to use this great resource for our sport of salmon fishing. And what sport it is. Where else in the world is the ten-year average for the whole season over 36 fish per rod per week?
The Middle Varzuga beat accesses over five miles of fly water with more than thirty named pools throughout its length. From faster flows around Clarke's Corner through the deep pools of Fortress to the wide, pebble bottomed open reach that is Peartiha and down around both sides of the island, our guests fish a diverse selection of some of the finest water the Varzuga offers.
There are many different types of water and we now run fully equipped and comfortable camps spread throughout the system.
