Nestled deep within the Arctic Circle on Russia’s Kola Peninsula, the Yokanga River offers an unparalleled fly-fishing adventure. Renowned for its powerful currents, rugged terrain, and some of the largest Atlantic salmon on the planet, Yokanga is a destination where every cast holds the promise of a trophy catch.
Stretching over 200 kilometers, the Yokanga carves its path through untouched tundra, free from urban development and rich in natural beauty. Its diverse waters—ranging from turbulent rapids to serene pools—provide both challenge and reward for anglers seeking the ultimate fishing experience.
This isn’t just another fly fishing trip. This is where each cast writes its own story.

Welcome to the Yokanga River
A place of rich undiscovered nature rooted in a one of a kind conservation program
The Yokanga is not just a river — it’s a global conservation sanctuary.
While known for its powerful, trophy-sized Atlantic salmon, the Yokanga represents far more than world-class fly fishing. It is a non-commercial, conservation-driven project that exists to protect one of the last strongholds of wild salmon on Earth.
This is a river that doesn’t belong to any one nation — it belongs to the world. When you come to fish here, you’re not just chasing legends — you’re helping preserve them. Every angler who visits becomes part of a larger mission: to sustain this fragile, remote ecosystem through responsible, catch-and-release fly fishing and long-term protection of the tundra it flows through.
At Yokanga, guests have the opportunity to actively contribute to on-site research programs, working alongside scientists monitoring fish populations and river health. Your presence supports both science and protection.
It began as a passion project by British pioneers and was later revived with renewed purpose — today, every visit directly supports the conservation of this mystic river.
✔ A globally significant sanctuary for wild Atlantic salmon
✔ 100% catch-and-release to protect genetic integrity
✔ Your trip directly supports non-commercial conservation
✔ Optional participation in scientific research during your stay
✔ Fishing access is managed for ecological balance
✔ Part of a broader effort to preserve Arctic biodiversity
