After a helicopter transfer or rafting trip down the Severnaya River in the Turukhansk District, you'll find yourself in a unique place with sandy or rocky shores. The cold waters of this Siberian river harbor a vast abundance of fish. It's no wonder it's considered the most diverse river in the world; it seems as if every species of freshwater river dweller is present here. From common perch, peled, pike, zander, and tench, to noble predators such as whitefish, taimen, lenok, grayling, and many others.
This picturesque river, with its many rapids and islands, is frankly teeming with all sorts of trophy fish. While traversing this route, you can't help but admire the size of the predators you catch. It's here that you can catch large grayling, taimen, and quite respectable pike. Time flies when rafting down the Severnaya. Anglers are completely absorbed by the surrounding beauty, the excitement, and the thrill of finding and catching a hefty specimen. The goal is to break records and set your own, based on the weight or size of the noble predators caught. The river, meandering with rapids, has numerous branches that also harbor hefty, large specimens of noble predators.
Advantages of the route
On this uniquely beautiful river, you can not only admire the vibrant landscape of wild nature but also forget about work, worries, and the problems that abound in everyday life. Relaxation is combined with exciting fishing, with the chance to catch the largest fish, the taimen, perhaps for the first time. Predators often bite here, with a minimum weight of around 10 kilograms. If you listen to the reviews of our guests, it becomes clear that during the seven-day rafting trip down the Severnaya River, each day surprises with its trophies. One of the largest taimen caught was a true monster weighing over 26 kilograms, which took about 30 minutes to wrestle.
Besides their main activity, many tourists take photographs not only of the "crocodiles" (as large pike are called) and enormous taimen they've caught, but also of the surrounding, pristine, and extraordinarily beautiful nature of the Siberian taiga, enriching their memories of an unforgettable fishing trip.
