"When there is a fish? What to take with itself? And something else … "

Personal equipmentPersonal equipment
Our general recommendation is that you keep the weight and bulk down to a minimum as the baggage allowance is 20 kg on most flights. Don't bring a lot of clothing for cities.
First of all we recommend you to have rucksack (large enough to hold all your personal belongings, including sleeping bag and sleeping mat; waterproof; with an effective waist harness and comfortable shoulder straps for extended trekking; minimum 60-65 litre capacity),  kit bag to store luggage not needed on trek.

Equipment

  • A sleeping bag, should be rated for 3 to 4 season use, Arctic and Alpic modification with nylon covering, Quallofil or Hollofill type.  A cotton liner helps to keep your bag clean; silk innersheet is nice luxury.
  •  The waterproof bag for your luggage. Good waterproof bag is important especially to those who is going rafting. It keeps your things and sleeping bag dry during the route.
  •  Sleeping mat - either a foam mat or a thermarest;
  • Waterproof (plastic) bag for documents and things;
  • Sunglasses/sun protection/sunblock;
  • Basic First Aid Kit;
  • Torch/headlamp - it is essential to have such things for finding things at nights;
  • Insect repellent and a Mosquito Net;
  • Toiletries - soap, toothbrush/paste, small towel, shampoo, comb.

Personal equipmentClothes
We recommend you to pay attention to the fishing equipment and clothes in which you will be fishing. The trade is not important, but the extremely important, the qualitative as you will use them 8 hours in a day.

  •     
  • Down jacket - may be of use after sunset as a most convenient way of keeping warm when the temperature drops;
  •     
  • Thick sweater/fleece jacket - is necessary especially in June and September when nights are pretty cold at altitudes. Make sure that your waterproof jacket is loose enough to wear over your sweater or fleece;
  •     
  • Lightweight wool jumper or polartec - 100 wt top - a good intermediary layer;
  •     
  • Shirts - 2-3 T-shirts preferably with collar and one long-sleeved shirt. T-shirts in a wickable material, which are fast drying and keep moisture away from your skin can be also useful.
  •     
  • Walking trousers and shorts - 2 prs - ensure you have both warmer and lightweight clothing for extremes of temperatures and weather conditions; jeans are not recommended;
  •     
  • Gloves - useful in the morning and in the evening. 1 pr thermal gloves (polypropylene or chlorofibre) and 1 pr of wool or fleece gloves which fit over the thermal gloves. Gore-Tex mitts are also suitable;

Fishing experienceFishing experience
     Personal skill and experience have great value in our places. Fishes here are impatient to atypical events. And their behavior corresponds to nature. Noise, inattentive and negligent pass  and other actions depending on you reduce your catch. Our experienced guides, of course, help you fishing but not skilled fishers will have less success, than those who has the necessary fishing equipment and fishing skills. You, undoubtedly, know your level skill, but for having really good fishing you should be able to throw on distance of 15-25 meters. There are more than 14 thousand rivers and streams in Kamchatka. The largest river is Kamchatka (760 km).
 We’ll organize fishing on the rivers: Bystraya, Karakovaya, Opala, Tigil, Plotnikova.

    

 In upper reaches all rivers are mountainous, with fast current, falls and rapids. On plains their current becomes slower. The rivers of the western coast of peninsula concern to the Okhotsk sea, and the river of east coast to the Bering sea.
