O Fly fshing always starts with a it's as journey. Often an oldsimple as a drive down dirt road to a secluded pond or a quick skiff ride across the fats. Sometimes the trip is a little more challenging, a three-mile hike to a deep bend in the river or a white-knuckle landing in a foat plane on a tree-lined lake. And then there are the serious fy-fshing journeys. Bucket list trips to destinations so remote that travel times are measured in days not hours. Where complex logistics lead to isolated, preserved waters teeming with abundant, aggressive and challenging fsh. Where a beginning angler can feel successful and a seasoned one almost mythical. These are the destinations fy fshers dream of. TWO SUCH REMOTE YET MAGICAL LOCATIONS exist on opposite ends of the globe: the Ponoi River on the Kola peninsula in the far Northwest of Russia and the waters surrounding the islands of Alphonse and Desroches in the Seychelles. While both offer breathtaking beauty and exceptional, sustainable fshing, the similarities end there. At approximately 67º north latitude the Ponoi River is above the Arctic Circle and due east of the northern tips of Norway, Sweden and Finland. Seychelles on the other hand is a 115-island country deep in the heart of the Indian Ocean almost a thousand miles east of mainland Africa. These two isolated locations provide some of the best fy fshing in the world and while getting there may be a challenge, the catch is well worth it.
