You're probably talking about "Reeling Through Russia" by Fen Montaigne. He
used to be the Moscow bureau chief for some big US newspaper.

It is a fun book to read yet it makes you sad when you see the waste that
the Russians/Soviets made of such a awesome land.

He ended his trip on Kamchatka and had good things to say about it.

I'm thinking about a trip Kamchatka this year. Is there anyone reading
these
pages that has been there or knows of someone who has? I understand the
rainbow trout are enormous as well as the char and grayling.
