Russia exclusive fishing on Lena River from the fishing cruse and boats above Arctic Circle.

Fishing will be conducted in two ways. First we take on board of our ship in Yakutsk or Zhigansk.  Our ship was build specially dedicated for fishing trips on the Lena River and its tributaries. Optimal groups are 6-7 people max 8. There is two cabins for anglers, open deck with tent, shower with cold and hot water available on the stops too, dining room, kitchen with professional cook, and every navigation and safety devices needed for safety trip on this vast and dangerous river. So we start with living and fishing from the ship and river banks make stops in interesting spots along Lena River (2-3 days). Here our fishing goals are giant pikes (really big up to 20 kg), sturgeons, broad whitefish, muksu and omul.

Next we go to the tributaries moving up as high we can by ship, than changing for small boats or pontoons with engine and go up the stream (about 80 km)with professional fishing guides (locals) for taimen, grayling, pike, whitefish (sig), perch and most important for great adventure. There we sleep in tents by the river and fishing or doing whatever you want all day (we are up Nord so days are long). Usually we stay on the one river for about 3 days and back on our ship to change place and river. At example three days on the river Unduljug and three days on Djanishku. But of course we can

change it according to the wishes, weather conditions, water level and advices from local guides.

During the trip we have full board accommodation (3 meals a day making by professional cook)

During the trip we will fish both: from the ship, boats and from the shore, in the most interesting places, and we take a small boats to go up fishing on Lena tributaries, leaving our ship-base in the lower parts of the rivers to camp and fishing legendary taimen, grayling and trout in mountain

rivers and soak up the local raw nature and views. Fishing and camping in such places makes a big impression, especially when you consider that the from nearest village we sometimes hundreds of kilometres. When fishing on the tributaries we camp in tents, cook meals over open fire and after two-three days we return to comfort live on our ship and sail further for the next adventure in the next tributary of the Lena vast river.

This kind of logistic give us best moving

possibilities – even better than by helicopter when you are transported to the one particular place and live there to the end of the trip, and the second reason it is much more interesting and comfortable than helicopter.

 During the expedition we have provided three meals a day prepared by our chef, local care by local professional anglers and my humble self as a guide and interpreter.

Fishing trips to Russia.

-Comfort! Comfort me at home enough.

I need savagery ... hut, tent, everything is real!

(Word permanent member alloys)

Rafting and fishing on Siberian rivers -  perhaps the best way to combine travel, fishing and recreation. The constantly changing landscape, more and more fishing space and no sound except the noise of the mountain river, the rustle of the leaves on the trees and splashes of jumping out fish of the water. Rafting and fishing are absolutely magnificent journey that allows you to not only renounce all worldly problems, but also to test themselves. Check, if you are ready to leave the cell phone, business, jobs, all

the problems and get to where there is only you

and your spinning.

I must say that already on the way to us, you feel the vastness and richness of the Siberian expanses. More and more moving away from civilization, you will dive into the world of extraordinary experiences of communicating with the river, taiga, cheerful companions, and the unique nature of our seats.

Organization alloy of the river is quite complex and requires good preparation. Do not go on this journey with untested people. Rafting on the rivers of Siberia suggest meeting with the wild animals, which are not rarely dangerous to humans. In the fall, during the rut, do not try to take a picture next to the released elk or deer. At this time they are rather aggressive and can attack anyone. And such a beast, like a bear, generally quite unpredictable, so do not attract its caught fish or a can of condensed milk. Maybe it will be very different preferences. Therefore,

during the fishing alloy, be extremely careful. Mountain rivers are fraught with many dangers: the slippery rocks, cliffs, deep holes, rifts with boiling water. Each participant of the alloy must be prepared for a wild of Siberia. Pay special attention to the issues of alcohol. Do not start the morning with a good vodka shot. Leave it for the evening. Then the bite will be better, and the liver will be healthy :)

Depending on the area and the river, we use different modes of transport: ships with boats a. e. in Yacutia, pontoons, hovercrafts, or high-speed airboat which allow us to reach inaccessible places really.

Accommodation during the fishing alloy depends on the chosen route and the river. Very often guides accompanying the group are hunters, engaged fishing in the region and having on the river banks hunting hut in which to wait out bad weather or just stay overnight. A large part of the journey takes place in a constant dynamic and changing fishing spots, so the campground is the most convenient and comfortable form of accommodation. The campground is divided by the river participants of the tour led by a guide. The tents are easy to install and comfortable enough (double and single tent with a vestibule). In addition, there are tent - tent for the kitchen and a tent sauna.

Alloy is considered ideal from 6 to 10 days provided one or two days in one place. Since the start of the alloy before the fishermen stands one of the most important questions - what to catch. The choice of bait is a very important point in time, and picked up the lure or jig necessary to bring the trophy to the angler that he wanted to get. Do not be afraid to experiment. Often fishermen for the first time being on the Siberian land, do not use large bait and believe that there is no fish that bite on a good trolling or any other large bait. This is a big mistake. Do not be afraid of large baits. Strong for mountain rivers often does not sink it to the bottom of the light baits and big fish will not always spend their forces in the pursuit of the young fish.

If you have never participated in such an event, as an alloy with fishing, do not waste time, get your friends together and go into the unknown distance. This holiday, for which you want to live and which is not a pity to spend your vacation.

During the rafting on the rivers of Siberia, you will be surrounded by the beauty of the rich northern nature, untouched by man. For security and organization of the alloy, accompanied by members of the group will be the guide, which has experience in the hunting of large wild animals, as well as a knowledgeable perspective places of fishing. During the time of the fishing tour group members will be provided with everything necessary for a comfortable stay on vacation.

Fishing is carried out only on the principle of "catch and release". The only exception is fish, which received a wound it can be take for preparing traditional northern dishes, which will satisfy even true gourmets.

Relax in my trips is based on the rational use of natural resources. We are interested in preserving the fragile harmony between man and nature.

For personal safety, fishing alloy participants must listen carefully to the recommendations of the guide and follow safety rules.

During the rafting is conducted on the following fishing species:

Taimen - the brightest and most powerful representative of the salmon! The fight for this fish can not forget no one, even the most experienced fisherman. Taimen is very hardy. Landing of fish, which has decided to fight the fisherman turns into an exciting fight! Taimen jumps out of the water making a candle for the candle and does not give up, even once on shore. Many fishermen noticed that every instance of this type is if the character and mood. Everyone behaves differently when playing, and everyone has their own preferences in choosing baits. Taimen true survivor among the salmon, it often reaches the age of 40 years.

Grayling - a real dude Siberian rivers. There is no doubt that during this beautiful alloy and active fish will give you peace of mind! Dimensions northern grayling exceed all expectations. A regular bite a couple of days tourists alloy perceived as punishment.

Ide - is not only the hero of the video clips on the Internet. This fish, representing the family of carp in freshwater rivers of Siberia. Often in ponds where ide feels comfortable, it reaches the size of 0.4-0.5 meters in length and a weight of 2 to 4 kg. But even the biggest ide can not feel safe because of the most common predator of Siberian rivers - the pike.

Northern pike - this is illegible, voracious, predatory fish these places. It eats fish fry of all species, including their relatives, and when it grows up, starts to attack ducks, muskrats and rather large fish. In Siberia, there are cases where pike attacked a man. The size of the average pike during the alloy of about 10 kg, but there are also

more worthy specimens that travelers are happy no less than taimen

Amur pike, also known as the blackspotted pike, (Esox reichertii) is a pike native to the Amur River system, becouse of its very limited habitad its very valuable trophy for all anglers. Fishing methods are the same as for northern pikes. We are cath this trophy In Khabarovsk area on the Amur River tributaries.

Perch - in Siberia, sometimes there are instances, reaching 0.5 m in length and a weight of 2-3 kg. Large perch is very agile, strong and predatory fish. It does not descend to any living creature, from the small water insects to fairly large fish, as long as it fell within his ability and can fit in its mouth wide. Perch is traditionally one of the most suitable for cooking fish soup.

Lenok (Siberian trout) - a mixture of whitefish and salmon. An essential inhabitant Siberian mountain rivers. We are pleased to bite a lure all sorts of forms, and the fly-fishing tackle. Every self-respecting fisherman must get acquainted with this unusually beautiful and noble fish.

Siberian rivers are also home to the sturgeon, salmons, nelma, whitefish, burbot and oter fish species.

So welcome to my world with me:
