Fishing day

The first and last days of your trip allow for half-days of fishing. In between are six full fishing days that follow the following schedule, with plenty of flexibility according to group preferences.

• Coffee & Tea at 7am
• Breakfast at 8am
• On the water by 9am
• Lunch on the river midday
• Return to camp for dinner at 7pm
• Cocktails, campfire and fish stories close out the day.
  Or, if you still have energy, most camps have high quality home water for midnight-sun junkies.

All Kamchatka programs employ a guide rotation system, so each group of two anglers spends two days with each guide. Staff consists of one North American head guide and two seasoned Russian guides. Our head guides are talented professionals with years of Russian and/or other international camp management experience, and years of prior experience guiding in Alaska, British Columbia or the Western US. They are selected not just for their significant on-water talents, but as curious, enthusiastic representatives of Kamchatka.

Our Russian guides come from varied backgrounds, usually associated with biology, wildlife management, hunting, trapping or commercial fishing. Flyfishing being a relatively new sport to Russia, our guides come equipped with varying levels of pure flyfishing knowledge. Some are exceptional, having been with us for 10 or more years. Others have been brought on board for their skills as woodsmen and watermen, whose technical abilities are still evolving, but who are in rhythm with the lives and habitat of rainbow trout.
