We offer 2 options of fishing trips for the largest taimen all  over the world.  Khabarovsk region. The river  Tugur and the river Bichy.

Common information

Fish population is an   mixture of Siberian, Amur and the Pacific fish. Taimen, siberian trouts - lenoks and two species of pikes - Lena, Amur pike, Hadar and Amur grayling are the most interesting for sport fishing.     Pacific salmon - chum and pink salmon  come, coho and sockeye salmon too. There is also a char-Malma.

Tugur - a special river, unique river ,  it  is probably   the best for biggest  Hucho   taimen all over  the world. River  is well protected, here you can catch a spinning and fly fishing. Each group catches record taimen weighing 40 kg. We can take on Tugur limited number of fishermen. This is a special expensive tour for the fishing  for a record Hucho taimen. There are authentic data on capture here fishes in weight in 70 and even 95 kgs

Bichy  is   smaller in size and it is more convenient to catch taimen and salmon on fly fishing . Giant taimens  are less common here , the normal maximum size of trout less than 30 kg  but its possible to land a lot of 20-25 kg taimens. This is the most comfortable fly fishing taimen trip.

The main issue for salmon fishing in Russia. Where to sleep, what to eat??

                                                      Salmon fishing in Russia.

Fishers who plan to arrive to Kola peninsula for the first time, usually ask questions on where to live, what  to eat. I understand their fears. Russia is a far and terrible country. On the other hand advantage of many expensive camps in the Russian north is the arranged life. Presence of good kitchen and white napkins is discussed at forums and video films more often, than fishing.

    
Distinctive feature of our programs of salmon fishing in Russia  is presence of discovery elements . We use our own  mobile programs and fishers  are  not clamped by narrow frameworks of the schedule. I am not the supporter of a strict daily routine according to whom we move in a narrow circle between a lunch hall and the site appointed for today for catching. 

Once I witnessed   strange ( for me)  situation. In one of camps   the lonely fisher was  carried in  a boat under the established schedule. A breakfast, a dinner, a supper in due time. River sites according to the schedule. Any company, any changes in the schedule, any personal wishes. On the end of week – he was waited by   helicopter and good-bye. The standard program, standard service. I hope that he has learnt and has seen something new about Russian north from a helicopter window.

Nevertheless, I absolutely agree that the good kitchen and a sauna is necessary for a high-grade relaxation. Moreover, original menus can be an ornament of fishing rest. Daily sausages or fritters for a week can spoil mood to any fisher. Unfortunately, such standard menus not a rarity in the big and very known camps. 

         To me happens very pleasantly when someone from our visitors undertakes preparation of the favorite dish. This not only unexpected and tasty addition to a dinner, but also joyful event for all command. Therefore we try to avoid monotonous programs which quickly tyre fishers and especially organizers. Somewhat occurrence of the mixed programs is called by desire as much as possible to diversify week. The guest house on Chavanga and camp on the river Strelna are comfortable enough for residing. Here there are no excesses, the life is arranged simply enough, but with advantage. A special ornament is bath presence. Many fishers from Europe meet for the first time such phenomenon. To them it is more familiar and the usual shower, as on Strelna is habitual. But it is necessary to show a few boldness and to appreciate a charm  of sauna - baths. This year on Chavanga the shower will be equipped especially for most doubting and shy people. So our visitors     can choose that it is pleasant to them.
