Default Q: North America in Jul-Aug

Hi, Jarmo

I'm considering going back to Kamchatka next August/Sept. Flights to
Moscow are about $1000 roundtrip from Boston, while the connecting
flight from Moscow to Petropavlosk is around $800. I should think that
airfare from Helsinki to Petro would be less than to, say, Bozman,
Montana.

There are several outfitters (I've used the Fly Shop out of Redding,
Cal and I'm familiar with one other, Ouzel). Seven-day float trips on
trophy rainbow waters top out at about $6,000 (including visa, fishing
license, and necessary paper work for U.S. citizens), but may be
cheaper for Finns.

Something to consider, anyway.

Also, have you considered the Kola Peninsula, just around the corner
from you. That is another of my dream destinations.

Just some food for thought. You live so close to some very, very good
fishing in wild country with no other folks except you and your party.
