Winter Ice Fishing on Forest Lakes!

Imagine yourself in the quiet solitude of the Kola wilderness, the winter snow sparkling under a bright Polar sun. You're standing in the middle of a deeply frozen forest lake, and you are about to experience what is quite possibly the favorite winter activity in Russia. Ice fishing!

This five-day excursion will take you to remote areas where you'll rarely see another person, and where the preferred method of transport from one lake to another is by snowmobile. The first and last nights of your journey will be spent in a comfortable house on the shore of the Umbozero Lake. There you'll have an opportunity to enjoy another wonderful new experience, the traditional Russian banya, a sauna absolutely unlike any you've ever had before!

This trip takes the sport of fishing to a whole new level! Once you try it we know you'll be "hooked"!
