For many hours the helicopter carries us straight eastwards. Through the small windows we watch the mighty and endless Tundra. Beneath us we see massive herds of reindeers and occasionally a big Brown bear – A true adventure and definitely the onset of a lifelong memory. Ponoi emerges as a silver band just under the horizon. Since the dawn of time the heavy current has cut its way through the landscape creating one of the biggest canyons in Eastern Europe. From up here the Ponoi looks almost intimate, but once we are down and into our waders, we realize that Ponoi River is a king size river. Salmon angling with a fly is true passion, and in a river like Ponoi all your dreams come true.

“Salmon Fishing is not a matter of life or death, it’s more important than that.”

Ponoi river – Probably the best salmon river in the world
A true adventure and definitely the onset of a lifelong memory. Ponoi River is one of the most productive salmon rivers on earth, and you will have to search very hard to find such a unique and unspoiled salmon stock. Ponoi offers the best of two worlds. A wonderful combination of great numbers of salmon with attractive sizes up to 18 – 25 lbs. The fishing at Acha camp is very reliable and in June/July Acha camp will produce around 2,500 – 2,800 Salmon,.
