Friends!! I am very happy to share my fishing experiences with you. First I show you some pictures, later I will make more exciting fishing reports for you.Thanks.

We arrived in Kamchatka on 10 August by way of Habarofsk(after spending one night).On 11 August After spending another one night in Peterpavrofsk Hotel,finally we stood on Bistraya river.

With Ana who helped us to communcate with other Russians.

Having Russian snacks in the service area on road #4

Many Russians enjoying hot spring in Malky.On my way to Bistraya river we dropped in this 'hot spring'. Some Russian women sang a folk song one and all. The song was so wonderful and harmonious.

A philosopher of Woods and River, Igor. He is a guide for us and a hunter who've caught 20 bears.He is also a nice cook.I don't forget the taste of fish soup 'Uha' he cooked.I felt like a solitude of a poet in his eyes.

Najja and rafting boats. She was a cook and interpreter for us.

Wife of Sasha .Sasha was a driver for us.His dog was so cute and naughty.

Fried Rainbow and Dolly varden for our dinner.

PK with Dolly.

Look at the belly of rainbow.Russians cook the fish in the ash after putting onion,garlic and Russian herbs in the belly of fish.

JB fighting with big Dolly.For the weeklong in the Bistraya river.The water temp matained from 12 to 14 Celsius.Most of the fish didn't attack dry flies.Deep sink nymph patterns was deadly.

A family of Rusian bear,mother and two babies.

How lovely creatures these are!! I shouted out to Bok to let him take a video.At the moment the mother bear opposite across the river looked back .And slowely came into the forest with her babies.

Tying in the field to catch Chum and pink salmon. The salmons didn't have interests in the salmon hooks in general.So we had to find other method.The alternative was heavy streamer with pink marabou.In the mornig and the evening,they often reacted to the streamers.

Sauna tent.Andrei and Igor prepared this even for half day long.I didn't bath in this tent because I was mad in salmon fishing.When I tried Sauna,the stones in the tent already got cold.

JB fishing Salmon.I caught about 10 salmon but lost all pink salmon.(Pink salmon have big power) This salmon with me is Chum Salmon.
