I went to Kamchatka in 05, Jeff. Although I had a wonderful time and
caught many rainbows in the 28 - 32 inch range, it is not a land for
old men. Fishing for Dolly Vardens with size 16 and 18 dries was a
hoot, but catching BIG rainbows with mouse patterns was the big draw.
You could see the fish coming for the mouse (think of a submarine
running on the surface with a pressure wave from the hull). big smile

I floated the Zhuponava River for six days. I had Putin's Revenge from
the food, but I'd do it again in a second. Almost went this year, but
swmbo talked me out of it because of my new hip. I'm going to Labrador
instead -- easier logistics.

In the trailer it looked like they travelled through Moscow. That was
the only way to go this year. However, they are supposed to resume
flights from Anchorage to Petropavlosk (4 hour flight). States to
Anchorage - overnight- very early flight to Petro.

Maybe next year..........dream bubble
