Trip to the Central Kamchatka

I do not want to name the rivers where I was catching rainbow trout. I do not want to help the local ice-fishermen which are traveling by snowmobiles, and kill this magnificent fish in big numbers. It is a pity the protected state is not helping the local rainbow trout.

Eruption of the tallest Asian volcano, Klyuchevskaya Sopka (4700 meters)

One of the rivers belonging to the Sea of Okhotsk

Fishermen are rare here; this is why the fish is plentiful

Male of the Dolly Varden char in spawning colors. At that day we had strong wind and wet snow; the fishing was not good, but the chars were biting streamers and wobbler-flies.

Trout is the most numerous resident fish. This specimen was over 50 cm long.
