We have had two groups up on the Varzina River on Russia's North Kola Peninsula over the first two weeks of the season. This river has had it's ups and downs over the last few years. Fish numbers have been down and low water conditions have not helped. It seems the run of fish has been much stronger in 2013. While the early walking week was slow and hampered by unfavorable weather conditions week 2 produced around 80 fish. Regular Chris Ward having joined the 30lb club in 2012 (and a nice 40% discount on his 2014 trip) went one better landing this cracking fresh salmon of 117cm weighed in at 17kg.
Week 3 produced 110 salmon with 90% being 2 sea winter fish. With the weather warming up now the salmon are above the falls and the grilse run should arriving in large numbers.
