Mid-June. High season at Chavanga.

Can be taken literally - it was hot season all over the Kola peninsula. Blue sky, the midnight sun over the horizon, very warm weather without rain led to a further decrease in the water level in the river. The water temperature in the evening was 20-22 degrees. In the morning it was cooler, water cooled to 18 degrees Celsius. The river has become comfortable for fishing.  Many places became available among the waterfalls, which are usually only open for fishing in the middle of the season, in July.

During the day you can easily choose comofortable spots for fishing any sides of the river. The river flows from the north to the south. Therefore, during the day different river parts covered by shadows in different ways. This makes salmon move from  one position to another. You can use both banks to take an advantageous position   of a shadow bank. I noticed that some anglers ignore the opportunity to use both banks for fishing. In my view, do not miss the opportunity to look at the other side of the river. This makes it possible to understand the river, see new places and find the right tactics for fishing salmon. I always try to pay attention to anglers looking for the best places to fish and the best position for the angler. You can take into account the position of the sun and to choose the right bank for fishing. With the right sun lighting, river will show you the best places - the tunnels and recesses on the bottom  formed   by the main stream, pits and mash stones in main current, suitable for salmon location. During the period of low water, the ability to navigate on the river and find the areas with the main current flow is the basis for all further fishing tactics.

First cloudy day caused a sharp rise in activity and an increase in catches of salmon. At the same time larger salmon appeared, males that entered the river in autumn and early spring.
Some fish had wounds which occured  in the river after the winter. But it had little effect on their activity.

A few notes about the tactics of salmon fishing.

If  to characterize the first week of June, you can highlight a few points.

First, the weather was warm for a few weeks. The Chavanga water level was going down quickly enough. The water temperature rose to 14-16 degrees much earlier than usual. As a result, the state of the river in the first week of June was as at the end of June in normal years.

Secondly, the intensive salmon runs in the autumn and relatively favorable winter led to the accumulation of a large number of fish in the river.

Third, under  the rapid onset of summer   salmon stay not in a slow water pools, but   into rapids sections and fast flowing runs.

Fourth, smaller salmon were able to quickly adapt to the conditions of a rapid rise of water temperature. Salmon weighing 2.5-3.5 kg were a significant part of the catch. Large salmon were active only in the morning, during a temporary reduction in water temperature to 18 degrees.

 Fifth, few  fresh sea run  salmon entered the river and want to   show  normal activity in a warm and low water. Much of the fresh salmon remained in the sea not far from the mouth.

Sixth, these conditions are forced to change the usual tactics of fishing by large provocative flies. More successful was the tactic that usually used in the middle of the summer, at the end of June - July. Best was a local presentation of small flies in the place closely to the salmon lyes. It   was important as possible to reduce the lateral drift of the fly, as salmon in most cases, did not attack the fly, which went too quickly to the side. Further fall in the water level has resulted in even more sluggish response to the rapidly drifting salmon lures.

 Seventh, the overall impact of the Chavanga fishing was quite high, which is primarily due to a high concentration of salmon in the river.

Strelna river news. Salmon fishing in Russia on the Kola peninsula.

Spring this year was characterized by a very rapid melting of snow and ice melting on the rivers all over the Kola peninsula. By early May, the river is almost free of ice and spring flooding was unusually strong and short. Very warm the last week in May led to the fall of the water level in the river. The main waterfalls are passable for salmon, and much of the fish was able to climb up the river. So we had to change the usual order of salmon fishing and focus section of the river, which lies directly above the falls. Typically, fishing in the river  estuary and   below the falls and was very efficient. But now had to spend a lot of effort to find the right tactics salmon .. But it made the fishing interesting. A year ago, I was even more disappointed by the ease with which it was possible to catch a fish. This season also shows that you can not relax and you should always be ready to change tactics and method of catching salmon.

Kola salmon fishing. Beginning of a season.

HI!

We have just returned home for a short vacation.

 Season this year has turned difficult. Early spring and hot summer have changed the normal fishing everywhere.. 

    Kola river  had problems with the silver salmon run. 

    Chavan'ga  river - sea run salmon was also passive, but the resident fish (autumn run and    early spring run) caught well.    

    There were also problems on the river Strelna, where due to the low water biggest part of the spring run salmon  ahead of time was able to climb up the river.

             River Chavan'ga was in better condition during the hot spring and the rapid fall of the water level. Salmon that entered the river in autumn and early spring, has had to adapt and showed good activity throughout the river. Although it should be noted the rapid decrease in the activity of large salmon. When the water temperature 18-22 degrees accounted for the bulk of catches of salmon in the 2-3.5 kg of body weight. Larger salmon from 4 to 7 kg less often get hooked. It was necessary to use a variety of techniques for  their provocation.
