Usually the third week of September is a productive time to catch a silver salmon. The temperature of the water goes down, level rises after the autumn rains and the fish start running up the river. I have described an ideal situation.This Autumn, the water level was much lower than we expected.

We hoped that few rains will change the situation on the river. In a week time the level went up by 1 cm, but also temperature of he water rise to 11 degrees.This is a fairly high temperature for a second half of September. Activity of fresh salmon decreased significantly. Presence of the fish in the river can be seen by jumps all over the river, but is reluctant to respond to the fly. Some fish that just entered the river were still responding to the flies. Those salmons usually were taking spots in a quick rapids. Most of our fish were caught in those places. Deep pools were a good shelter for the salmons that entered the river in the end of Augus or in the first weeks of September. These fish had a purple body and behaved quite passively to our flies.

The most effective fly was small and medium-sized Ally`s shrimp with a very slow presentation in fast water. It was preferred to use floating line. General distance of fishing was around 6-12 meters. Average weight of fish was 3.5 kg. The largest fish caught weighed about 4.5 kilogram. We were not able to catch a large silver fish, which are common in this river during this time. Some resident males exceeded 4.5 kg, but their activity quickly fell. Most of the salmon started to spawn.

Sorry for the long silence, but now our season ended and we are finally able to publish all the news and material on our programs. To begin, I will publish a weekly photo reports on salmon fishing on the Kola Peninsula, for trout fishing in Kamchatka, and then report on fishing for trout in the river Tugur. Then we extend the reports and supplement their text. OK?

Putin everywhere. Petropawlovsk fishing shop.

Nice autumn colors, valley not far from Icha vulcano.

Vulcano sand road,

Smal surprize - big nail, we `ve got it passing the bridge

Icha vulcano

Spot that locates near main stream and has some stones usually is full of predatory trouts and white spotted char

Bear`s home pool. Left bank hole - salmon spot, right side - trout territory

Icha is enouph comfortable for flyfishing

Its difficult to pass wild territory, we have to use bears roads

Everywhere we are under the bear control

We were talking much about trout dry fly methods, but no one know that white spotted charr likes dry flies too

Sometime dry fishing, another spot we have to fish as deeper as possible

Flat bottom meas charr, stones - means good size rainbow trout and kundza

Deeper hole - silver salmon position

Spawning red salmon fight strongly, fish uses its flat body in a strong current

Soft Pb drop is a good idea to fish in a deep pools, sometime current is too strong for correct presentation, we have to cast up stream to get our fly deeper

One of the most interested fish - kundza

Good size rainbow troup is number ONE here!!!

My biggest kundza, it was difficult to take good quality photo
