July salmon fishing. Strelna river.

In the middle of summer, in July, most of the Strelna river  salmons go  above waterfalls, climbs into the open stretches and small rapids. In the lower part of the river are the fish who have found shelter under the threshold and in the depth of the pits by the waterfalls. At this time  fresh   salmon goes up  from sea. They can be caught in the lower areas near the estuary of the river. But upstream salmon trying to go faster, higher and further upstream. For 6-8 kilometers up from the camp we can  found fish in the deep reaches of the pit and the rocks. In such places, accumulated a significant amount of fish. Here you can watch a mixture of salmon that were in the river throughout the season, here  are the brown giants from last fall and fresh summer silver salmons in the company of small grils.

The photographs show how the river Strelna changes. Here are no   rocks and waterfalls, the river is located in a wide valley.
I am sincerely grateful to Patrick for    great photos!
