| Expeditions » ZHUPANOVA RIVER - ZENDZUR HOT SPRINGS LODGE | |
 Zendzur Lodge: Angling in the shadows of active volcanoes.  Catch of a lifetime on the middle reaches of Kamchatka's famed Zhupanova River. |
The comfortable, well-appointed Zendzur Hot Springs Lodge is located 10 miles upstream of the Zhupanova river gorge. Here the Zhupanova is large and shallow. Virtually every visiting angler lands the biggest rainbow trout of their life. In addition to huge trout, the Zhupanova provides tremendous fishing for Dolly Varden and Kundzha (an enormous, white-spotted sea-going char that can weigh-in at twenty or more pounds-woe for your trout rod!). The Lodge provides excellent food, comfortable rooms, hot showers, western and Russian guides, and reliable equipment. In addition to these top of the line facilities, the lodge features a natural hot spring which provides a wonderful capstone to a long day of angling, soaking in the 103 degree bubbling mineral water. Additionally, we offer fly-out options from Zendzur on a pay-as-you-go basis to Valley of the Geysers (the largest geyser basin outside of Yellowstone); overnight float trips on Zhupanova Spring Creek; day fishing trips to Kronotsky Lake for large char (up to 15 pounds); small coastal streams for rainbow, Coho, Dolly Varden, and Kundzha; and sight seeing trips to continuously erupting Mt. Karymski, landing at the base of the volcano. Anglers depart daily by jet boat for productive reaches of the middle Zhupanova River. There is one guide and two sponsors in each boat. LOGISTICS The Zhupanova River is easily reached by an hour long helicopter flight that takes you by several active volcanoes including the 11,339 foot Mt. Koryak and the 9,590 foot Mt. Zhupanova. You will be delighted by the stunning vistas of wild river valleys nestled amongst the mountain ranges of southeastern Kamchatka. BOOKING DETAILS The one-week program is limited to six sponsors per week. July-September. Call WSR at 1-800-687-0411 for details on how to book. Availability is limited. |
