Varzina, Trout Lodge, September 14-20, 2025
Dear fishing enthusiasts, we have to inform you, that the 2025 season on the Varzina River is finished! The Upper Camp "Kumzha" is the last one this season to turn off its lights in the already cooling and preparing for winter tundra. Fortunately, this last week didn't force our anglers to suffer from bad weather and instead gave them a true "Indian summer" with the northern lights at night. The fishing itself was, as always, challenging. The fish, partially in their spawning season, were reluctant to bite at the baits offered, and ultimately, 58 trout and 3 Atlantic salmon were caught on nine rods during the week. We didn't landed anything remarkable; the trout were mostly in the range of 50-59 cm. Surprisingly, the river temperature remained at 13°C all week, which is quite unusual for this period. To sum up this trout fishing season on the Upper Varzina, we can say that while it wasn't the worst, there certainly wasn't a "distribution" of these spotted predators. So it will be next time, we say with hope!
