The Ponoi is considered the single best river in the world to catch an Atlantic salmon. Requires extensive travel from U.S. Good Scandinavian and limited Russian cultural exposure. Ryabaga is a very remote but very comfortable tented camp with excellent food and services. Fishing not difficult, from boat and fairly easy wading, swinging traditional salmon flies using double-handed rods, floating and sink-tip lines. Weather seasonally consistent with Arctic summer.
