Hosted Trip To River Umba on the Kola Peninsula
In Week 27 – 2010 we will host a trip to The Umba
arranged by Salmon
Junkies / Steffen Juhl.
We travel through St.Petersburg on the 2nd
of July and back again on
the 11th.
Since people will come from various places, we have
chosen
St.Petersburg as a possible meeting point.
Well in Murmansk we arrange transport direct to the
camp, with arrival
on Saturday morning – A tough trip, but it will give
us almost an extra
days fishing and no hotel night in Murmansk. On our
way back we will
leave the camp late on the 10th so again
almost an extra days fishing.
This special transport will cost us apx. 100 Euro pr.
Person.
We have in 2010 an introduction price for this The
Hosted Trip, excl. the
trip to/from Murmansk at only, Euro 2.600
Few Salmon Rivers on the Kola Peninsula, or in the
world for that matter,
have had such a spellbinding and deeply felt effect on
Salmon anglers from
all over the world. For many of them it has almost
become a lifelong love
affair and you may witness hardened and weather‐beaten
anglers become all
“mushy”, when they reflect and talk about Umba. Such
is the character of this
river and there are really very few places left in
this world like it.
The new Umba Lodge on the banks of the fabled Home
Pool was opened in the
year 2000. The fantastic centre building contains the
dining area and a very
comfortable lounge with a big fireplace.
Two wings fan out from the round centre building and
accommodate the staff
and contain the guest rooms as well as kitchen
facilities. The dining area is
tastefully decorated and very stylish.
Here all Umba guests will feel like “Knights of the
Round Table” enjoying high
quality and tasty cuisine. A narrow hallway leads to
the guests’ warm and cozy
rooms.
All rooms accommodate two anglers and contain a
private bathroom.
The interior is built in style, entirely out of local
timber materials. The rooms
have been designed for storage of all the gear and
tackle salmon anglers always
carry with them.
A porch circles the entire lodge with access from all
rooms.
This is convenient for drying wet clothes and waders –
and a very nice place to
watch salmon jumping in the awesome Home Pool.
A very unique experience awaits you at the
incomparable Umba timber lodge –
probably the most luxurious lodge on the entire Kola
Peninsula.
It is like a small palace in the wilderness – just the
right place to discover the
enchanting soul of the Umba River.
What to expect when fishing the Umba River? Let me put
it to you in a very
straightforward manner – Umba is for the guy who is
seeking demanding
superior quality fishing but Umba is also tough wading
and long (healthy) walks.
We have no fancy hovercrafts or jet boats, who can
ferry you up or down the
river the whole day ‐ except on the lower
beats in Umba.
The Krivetz River (upper section of Umba) is a fast
river with strong currents,
big boulders and strenuous wading on slippery
boulders, long casts and
monster salmon.
Umba is a demanding chase for silver and suited for
the experienced and
committed Salmon angler prepared battle for his
salmon.
Finally, let the words ring true right here and now:
no matter what time of the
season you choose to come, you will encounter a week
of unforgettable
salmon fishing!
Each part of the season encompasses its magic and lure
along this
wonderful forest river on the south side of the Kola
Peninsula. Silvery salmon
lie in its many demanding pools from early May until
the end of October
providing for a long and exciting season.
There are rivers on the Kola Peninsula, where you have
the chance of catching
higher numbers of smaller fish ‐
but the unique mix of quantity‐size and quality,
i.e. ocean fresh fish, that you will find on in Umba
is unparalleled!
The Umba river system has something like five
different salmon runs each
year and some of these consist of fish specially
“designed”
(pumped up in protein) to spend almost 2 years in the
river before returning
to sea! An incredible feat actually – homage and
respect to the salmon.
As May ends and we move into the middle of June, the
summer will manifest
itself with high‐pressure weather and
bright sunny weather, sometimes
24 hours a day. Needless to say that these conditions will
affect the fishing,
but you may be astonished to hear that it sometimes
improves catches.
The amount of summer fish on our beats is probably
peaking at end of June
and beginning of July, and the reason why the catch
per rod is a bit higher in
June is probably related to weather and temperature
being more optimal for
the salmon to take the fly.
Regarding the fish ‐ two major things happen
during this period. We see an
increase in fresh grilse so that the salmon to grilse
ratio goes up towards 1:1.
But we also encounter some of the overwintering or
hibernating fish bound
for an 18 month stay in the river before spawning, and
you will not be in
doubt when you hook one of those. Being up to 25%
heavier measured in
length these bombs will make your lower jaw hit your
chest and have you
recheck your backing...
The average summer run salmon will be between 7 and 15
lb. but every week
will see bigger fish landed ‐ usually males and
sometimes well over 20 lb.
The breathtaking and dramatic natural surroundings
along the Umba River is
an important element satisfying even the
highest expectation an angler may have – here you will
find all kinds of
challenging and mouth‐watering waters and pools
enticing you to cast and swing your fly down and
across.
To support a strong and serious conservation plan that
was implemented
in 2008, Salmon
Junkies have signed a long termed
contract with full exclusivity. We feel confident that this action plan
will
improve the valuable Umba resource and
especially
our opportunity to offer one of the most
interesting, challenging salmon
programs on the Kola Peninsula.
