Trophy fishing on the Anadyakan River
A hard-to-reach river in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the heart of the Putorana Plateau
Anadyakan River
This fishing trip is perfect for a relaxing fishing trip, for those who want to enjoy nature and relax at a leisurely pace. The river is characterized by a gentle bank on one side and a steep bank on the other. When rafting, it's very convenient to reach the sandbars and cast your tackle under the steep bank. These are excellent spots for short breaks and fishing.
Along the route, we make a 1 km hike to the beautiful rapids of the right Anadyakan, a tributary of the main route.
Whitefish, grayling, taimen, and pike are caught in abundance.
The Anadyakan River originates in the central part of the Putorana Plateau and flows into the Kotuy River. The river's total length is approximately 180–200 km. Its upper and middle reaches are typical mountain rivers, with rapids, numerous riffles, rapids, powerful drops against rocky banks, and deep canyons. In its lower reaches, the river becomes calmer, with long stretches and deep holes.
The banks of the Anadyakan are predominantly rocky and taiga-lined, with beautiful waterfalls and dense larch thickets. The river's water is crystal clear and very cold, even in midsummer. Access to the river is only possible by helicopter.

How our week-long rafting trips with helicopter transfers work
We offer a classic 7-day helicopter tour with rafting—our most popular and well-rounded option. The tour begins and ends in Turukhansk.
Day 1: Arrival and transfer to the heart of the Putorana Plateau
Upon arrival in Turukhansk, our staff will meet you. We'll help you change clothes, purchase any necessary supplies, and transport you to the helipad.
A Mi-8T helicopter, fully loaded with rafting equipment, takes you to the headwaters of one of the Putorana Plateau's rivers. The flight lasts from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the chosen route.
After landing on a pebble spit or a comfortable clearing, you have time to make your first casts and try your luck. While your guests are fishing, the guides quickly set up camp, set up the kitchen, and prepare a festive dinner. In the evening, get acquainted with the river for the first time, discuss tactics, and relax under the stars.
Days 2–6: Main days of rafting and fishing
Each day begins with a hearty and delicious breakfast. Afterward, participants gather their personal belongings, board their boats, and continue their rafting journey downriver.
During the day, you will float independently, fishing the most promising spots:
- powerful pressure on the rocks
- deep holes and exits from them
- riffles and rifts
- snags and tributaries of small rivers
After camp is set up, the ranger team (guides) catch up with the group in a cargo boat and go ahead, choosing the best spot for the next night. A hot dinner, a sauna, and a comfortable campsite are ready for your arrival.
The group covers 10-30 km per day (depending on the route and weather conditions). Fishing takes place both from boats and from the shore. Guides are constantly on hand to suggest the best spots and assist with bait selection and fishing tactics.
Day 7: Completion of the rafting trip and return to Turukhansk
In the morning, we pack up camp and make the final drops. At the appointed time, a helicopter arrives and picks up the group. Flight back to Turukhansk.
Upon arrival, check into a hotel, enjoy a sauna, and relax. In the evening, you can celebrate the end of the rafting trip.
Day 8: Departure
After breakfast, if time permits, we'll organize a short tour of Turukhansk. Afterwards, we'll transfer to the airport and say goodbye until we meet again.
About the reservoir
Anadyakan River
Trophy fishing on the Anadyakan River
The Anadyakan River (sometimes referred to as the Anadakan) is a small body of water in the Turukhansky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai, a tributary of the Yeloguy River, located in the Yenisei River basin. This remote taiga river, surrounded by the wild nature of the Putorana Plateau, attracts anglers thanks to its low fishing pressure, crystal-clear water, and the opportunity to catch trophy fish in pristine taiga conditions.
Types of fish
- Taimen: The main trophy of Anadykan, reaching weights of up to 15–20 kg in these waters. This predatory fish requires heavy tackle, and due to its protected status, catch-and-release fishing is recommended.
- Grayling: Popular for fly fishing and light spinning tackle, trophy specimens reach 1.5–2 kg.
- Lenok: A lively fish, weighing up to 4–6 kg, inhabits the main channel and tributaries.
- Pike: Large specimens up to 10–12 kg are found, especially in backwaters and the mouths of small tributaries.
- Whitefish, perch, ide: Add variety to the catch.
