We run a very short
but very intense season and we know it is the annual highlight for many of our
clients as it is for us and our Russian partners.
We have always had a
very close and respectful relationship with our friends in Varzuga village and
it is the long term mutual support that is best demonstrated in tough times.
Despite already having
paid for all of the proposed helicopters for the season and the annual costs of
being ready for our programme, they have offered all of our clients a 100% rollover
to next year – a very generous gesture from a far from wealthy village.
The village itself is
under total lockdown which effectively means, that when we go back next May,
the salmon won’t have seen a fly for two years – a thought to keep us all cheered
in a difficult time.
We look forward to
being on the river in 2021 and reacquainting ourselves with wonderful friends,
stunning countryside and thousands of silver salmon – the time will fly by.
