Imagine a place where rainbow trout can exceed 30 inches and weigh over 15 pounds. The average catch regularly lands a 5 to 8 1/2 pound prize that often rivals a large Coho salmon. A fantasy land that is pristine and virtually untouched by human hands, suggestive of Alaska 50 years ago. This place does exist.

"Kamchatka is Calling Me", by Gary Christensen

There are many reasons why one visits the Kamchatka Peninsula, one of Russia's most isolated regions, a place rich in maritime history and abounding with natural wonders. This mountainous 1250 km long peninsula is located between the Okhotsk Sea on the west and the Bering Sea on the east. It is one of the most beautiful places on our planet. The scenery is a kaleidoscope of amazing landscapes where the pace is slow and local people friendly and welcoming.
