Fly-Fishing in Russia



The icy waters of a remote arctic river have become a Shangri-la for anglers in pursuit of Atlantic salmon—hard (and expensive) to get to but, oh, the fish!

Russia's Ponoi River is not what most people would consider a typical fly-fishing destination. For starters, there are no long-established, luxurious lodges lining its bank like those found on other famous salmon rivers. It's located on the eastern edge of the Kola Peninsula—a 40,000-square-mile wilderness of tundra and low forest. The capital city of the province, Murmansk, is home to Russia's Atlantic nuclear submarine operations. In fact, until the early 1990s, it was virtually impossible to travel to this remote, lonely part of the world. Security was tight along the Finnish border where locals were required to report sightings of strangers to the authorities. In those days, the Kola was considered so strategically important that Russians living under the former Soviet regime were forbidden to travel to the interior without special permits. The guard towers and the patrols are gone now, but the wilderness of the Kola, particularly in the eastern sections, remains untouched. That has been a boon for the region's Atlantic salmon. While many Canadian and United States rivers have seen extensive development over the past century, Kola waterways are comparatively wild. Because of the lack of dams and pollution, these rivers have some of the largest runs of Atlantic salmon in the world. In just over a decade, the peninsula's Rynda, Kharlovka, and Yokanga rivers have become common names in fly-fishing circles. But it is the Ponoi that is considered the crown jewel—the river where you can catch more salmon in one day than during an entire week in eastern Canada, Norway, or Iceland.
If you're not a fan of helicopters, however, you'll never make it to the fishing grounds on the Ponoi. Located 130 miles southeast of Murmansk, the river is accessed almost exclusively by air—which means a somewhat grueling ride in a Russian MI-8 (pronounced "me eight") helicopter. These military workhorses (they were used in Afghanistan and more recently in Chechnya) have two massive engines and can carry 24 soldiers in full military gear or—in my experience—18 anglers and their many bags crammed with fleece-lined jackets, dozens of rods, and boxes of brightly colored flies.
The two-hour ride is cramped and loud (you are given earplugs before boarding), but as the MI-8 thunders over the tundra, passengers are treated to a stunning view of arctic wilderness. The Kola's windswept landscape is dotted with birch trees, clumps of stubby pine, and endless bogs. It is easy to understand why, during Soviet times, escaped prisoners (criminal and political) picked this area to hide out in. During the flight, there was not a single hint of mankind—no roads, no towns, not even a shack.
Ryabaga camp is operated by the Ponoi River Company, which is owned by Shackleton International, a company that specializes in unique fishing expeditions. Their base on the Kola is a tidy village of white canvas tents on platforms, located 30 miles up the Ponoi river from where the Barents Sea meets the White Sea on the eastern tip of the peninsula. It accommodates up to 20 and from late May to the end of September the outpost is filled to capacity with ecstatic anglers.
After spending days getting to the Ponoi (most people fly to Helsinki, lay over for a night, and then take a connecting flight to Murmansk), I was desperate to get on the river, and the Ryabaga guides—a multinational mix of seasoned pros—were quick to accommodate. Immediately after breakfast on my first morning, John Gendall, a 31-year old New Zealander, ushered another guest and me into a 17-foot boat and headed up the wide, slow-moving river.
Russians and Scandinavians have been fishing these waters since the 16th century, but the area has not seen the same decline in stock as Canadian and U.S. breeding grounds. The annual run on the Ponoi is estimated to be between 30,000 and 60,000 fish. In comparison, Maine's Penobscot River, which has the largest population of Atlantic salmon in the United States, sees an average of only 1,000 adult fish each year.
At the head of a large pool, Gendall cut the outboard and released an anchor. My fishing partner, Tom Watson III, a retired lawyer from Connecticut, started casting from the stern while I worked my ten-weight rod from the bow. On only my second cast I got a solid hookup. I was so surprised that I played the fish badly and lost it. It turned out to not be a problem. In the next six hours, I went on to catch and release five very respectable Atlantics averaging about 14 pounds each. Watson managed to land five as well.
A typical day on the Ponoi starts around 6:30 a.m., when a camp manager appears in the tents and lights the stoves. As guests rise to a crackling fire, a hot breakfast (including delicious scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and freshly made pain au chocolat) is prepared in the dining tent. If anyone has been lucky enough to catch a sea trout the day before—most everyone does—the chef adds it to the morning menu. Around 9 a.m., groups of two set out to fish different sections (called beats) of the Ponoi—some in boats and others in helicopters to more far-flung locations.
Even though the camp is located 35 miles above the Arctic Circle, the weather during summer months is surprisingly mild, with temperatures typically in the 70s or 80s. But visit as I did in late September and it's a bit more like November in New England. Some days the mercury stayed in the 50s, while on others it dropped to the low 40s. All guests came equipped with high-tech waders and Gore-Tex fishing jackets as well as many layers of fleece, hats, and gloves that convert to fingerless models instantly in order to feel the fly line. If the weather turns ugly, each beat has a small tent with a wood-burning stove where anglers warm up and have a hot lunch. One Ponoi veteran, 65-year-old Page Chapman, told me that he preferred the colder trips. "In the summer, I had to wear mosquito netting all day because of black flies," he said. "And my tent was a furnace at night because we kept it sealed up tight to keep out the insects."
Maintaining an outpost in the arctic, particularly the Russian arctic, is a logistical challenge of epic proportions. Camp manager Roderic Hall described to me a few of the expenses: The camp consumes 19 tons of fuel totaling $60,000 annually. It costs another $40,000 just to have it flown in by helicopter. All food—fresh vegetables, eggs, meat, and numerous cases of Spanish wine—is flown from Finland and Murmansk. Even obtaining firewood is an ordeal. The trees in this part of the Kola are stunted so the camp must have pine timbers floated down from a forest 100 miles upstream every spring. There are 32 staff members to pay, including guides, chefs, maids, mechanics, and a camp doctor. Shackleton also makes annual lease payments to the Russian government so the camp can enjoy private fishing for 50 miles of the Ponoi. Running the camp is a labor of love, says Thorpe McKenzie, a private investor from Tennessee who was a co-owner of the operation for ten years before Shackleton bought the camp. "There was never a year where we made more than $500 pre-tax per angler."
What all this means, of course, is fishing here is significantly more expensive than, say, casting for trout in Montana. Six days and seven nights during prime running weeks in June and September costs just under $10,000 per person, and that's not including airfare to Murmansk.
Salmon enthusiasts take consolation in the fact that any difficulty they experience getting to the Kola pales in comparison to what the fish go through. After hatching, young salmon typically spend two to three years in the river before they begin their migratory gauntlet. First they must make it downriver, dodging kingfishers and mergansers, and then out to sea where they race past schools of hungry cod and seals to the waters off the Faroe Islands, a collection of 18 windswept, treeless land masses around 200 miles north of Scotland. There they spend one or two years fattening up before making the long journey back to the exact river, tributary, and often same pool in which they were born.
What happens next is what drives otherwise prudent individuals to spend outlandish amounts of money and time just for an opportunity to be in the same water as these fish. When an Atlantic salmon returns to its native river, its sole purpose is to lay eggs. Salmon do not linger in one place for very long and, more importantly, they do not feed. But, for reasons that remain a mystery to marine biologists, if you place a brightly colored Mickey Finn, Hairy Mary, or any number of other flies exactly in the right place at precisely the right moment, they chase and strike. The sound of a screaming fly reel as a salmon performs great leaps out of the water is one of angling's greatest thrills.
"I'm always amazed to look at the vast size of the water I am covering and the small size of the fly that I am using, and that any fish is prepared to take it," says Jane Stewart, who has traveled to the Kola over ten times from Somerset, England. "It's a great privilege to get one on the end of the line."
Another inspiring factor is that there are simply not that many Atlantic salmon in the world to catch. All five species of Pacific salmon—which differ greatly from Atlantics in that they die once they spawn—are much more plentiful. For example, British Columbia's Fraser River alone gets an annual run of between ten and 20 million Pacific salmon each year. The total world population of Atlantic salmon, in comparison, is estimated to be around 4 million fish, according to the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, an organization that studies marine life in the North Atlantic. That's about half of what it was in the mid 1970s. Most marine biologists believe that overfishing and deterioration of freshwater habitats have been contributors to the decline in stocks. The good news is that many countries, including Greenland and Norway, have either put a halt to, or reduced the harvesting of Atlantic salmon. The United States and Canada have eliminated commercial fishing for Atlantics altogether. (Fly-fishing on the Ponoi River Company trip is catch and release with barbless hooks.)
There comes a point in every fishing trip when you want to see if you can outwit your prey without the help of a guide. On an overcast, windless afternoon, I made my way along the rocky shoreline downriver to a slow-moving pool. I have been fly-fishing for most of my life and understand trout streams and bonefish flats, but I found it difficult to know where to start on such a wide stretch of river. Typically I use a nine-foot-long single-handed rod, but on that day I was armed with a 14-foot Spey rod, which is the preferred weapon on the Ponoi. The additional length allows you to cast the line farther, up to 120 feet, and cover more water. This is key, because unlike sight fishing for trout where you see them rise, it's not always easy to tell where an Atlantic is hiding out. As with many river fish, in front and behind large boulders is always a good bet, but salmon are also happy to linger in the middle of a moderately swift current. The idea is to cast your fly directly across the current, let it swing through the pool, and hope it catches the attention of a fish.
After an hour, I decided that this section of river was a lost cause. But as I was about to pack it in, something big hit my Mickey Finn. As the water boiled, I could see the silver flicker of the fish just under the surface and knew it was a salmon. I waited a moment before raising the rod to ensure a good set. The salmon began a series of long runs. After a ten-minute fight, I pulled it up beside me and removed the hook from its mouth. It was a powerful fish that weighed around ten pounds—not a monster, but still a marvelous specimen. I held it gently, nose into the current letting it recover while the water rushed through its gills. A few moments passed, and then it snapped its tail and was gone.
I had to take three planes and a helicopter to reach this river. It was, as I learned that week, a privilege to be able to cast to these tough, determined creatures. Few game fish need the pristine, pollution-free environment Atlantic salmon must have to survive. The Ponoi River is such an environment, and it's still as it always was—wild and difficult to get to. It's the end of the line, and the Atlantic salmon like it that way.


Rigging Up for Russia

THE SEASON AND COST The 2004 season on the Ponoi begins May 29 with the last week starting on September 25. Cost: from $4,690 to $9,990, depending on the week. Early and late weeks are the most expensive because they have the largest runs of salmon.
EQUIPMENT The rod of choice on the Ponoi is a 14- to 16-foot Spey rod with a nine- or ten-weight line. Rio Windcutters with interchangeable sink-tips are the preferred fly lines. Floating lines come in handy during the middle of the summer when water levels are low. Single-handed rods can also be used very effectively because most of the fishing can be done from a boat. However, when wading, you'll be able to cast farther and more comfortably with a Spey rod. The camp's fly shop has an excellent selection of appropriate flies as well as plenty of topnotch equipment, including fishing gear by Sage, Tibor, Thomas & Thomas, and Rio.
CLIMATE The Ryabaga camp is located 35 miles above the Arctic Circle, and that means the weather can change in an instant. Early in the season the temperature is typically in the 40s during the day and drops into the 30s at night. Midsummer is warm, with temperatures around the 70s and 80s. During the fall, expect anything from the 40s to the 70s during the day and below freezing at night.
HOW TO GET THERE Travelers from both Europe and the U.S. fly to Helsinki via Finnair, spend the night, and connect to a Murmansk flight the next morning. From there it's a two-hour helicopter ride to the Ponoi.

What Supplies Do You Need to Fly Fish?




In order to catch that monstrous fish you need a rod and reel plus certain other supplies in your possession, namely different lines, various apparel, and various flies. To make your trip more enjoyable, and at the same time make it a great experience, you need a variety of supplies.
So what kind of supplies do you need? To start you need a supply of different flies to attract the fish. When fly fishing you want to match the fly with the insects in the stream or water you are fishing. With a different arsenal of flies you are more likely to match your fly to the natural food source to the fish, and then you will catch more fish. This lets you adapt to the insects in the water to catch such fish.
You also want a supply of different lines which in turn will allow you to fish in different weather conditions while you are on your fly fishing trip. Different lines also let you change the line for different color water when fishing. One area of the fishing water in a lake or stream might be one color while another area might be another color. And suppose you fish in the morning in calm weather and then it becomes windy you might want to change to a heavier line so your casting is more productive.
Apparel is also important in supplies such as a fly fishing vest. The vest will hold all your supplies and make your trip more enjoyable. Most fly fishermen use a vest as it is convenient and supply easy access to your supplies.
So where do you shop for your supplies? Check your local fishing store and ask if they sell fly fishing supplies and if they do not I'm sure they can recommend a store that does. If they do then also ask what fly fishing supplies you will need for your trip. Another place to try is the internet. On the internet you can find thousands of stores who sell fly fishing supplies, such as Orvis, Cabala's, Bass Pro Shop to name a few. You can also purchase pre-made flies from these type of outlets if you don't want to make your own. If you do a quick search on the internet with your favorite search engine you can purchase lines, rods, reels, flies, apparel, books and videos on fly fishing.
Before going out on your fishing trip do a little planning ahead of time with your supplies. Try to get your gear right before you go that way your trip is more enjoyable and your will have a better success rate or catching that big fish! Good luck to you!

I love to fish and have a website to help people learn to fly fish. To visit the website go to http://www.deesmarketplace.com/online/ and sign up for a free e course on fly fishing!

Lutjanidae - Snapper


Snappers are a family of perciform fish, Lutjanidae, mainly marine, but with some members inhabiting estuaries, feeding in fresh water. Some are important food fish. One of the best known is the red snapper.
Snappers inhabit tropical and subtropical regions of all oceans. They can grow to about 1 m (3.3 ft) in length. Most feed on crustaceans or other fish, though a few are plankton-feeders. They can be kept in aquaria, but mostly grow too fast to be popular aquarium fish. They live at depths reaching 450 m (1,480 ft).

Petua: Kesan memakan ikan terkena racun





IKAN yang dituba sebenarnya sudah memindahkan racun dari umpan ke sistem badan dan seterusnya sebati bersama isi tubuhnya. Ada di kalangan penuba berpendapat dengan membasuh ikan selepas disiang dengan air yang banyak dan kadangkala dibasuh dengan air kelapa dapat melupuskan racun berkenaan. Anggapan ini salah sama sekali. Kesan kepada manusia terbahagi kepada dua iaitu kesan segera dan tertunda. Ia adalah kesan keracunan berantai yang terpindah secara tidak langsung akibat memakan isi ikan yang mengandungi racun berkenaan. Keberkesanan racun ini boleh mencapai lebih dua pusingan pemangsaan (putaran) bergantung kepada jumlah dos racun yang terbabit. Perlu diingat juga racun ini boleh memasuki tubuh badan kita secara serapan menembusi kulit. Kesan segeranya ia berkaitan perubahan kimia dalam badan yang agak kompleks dan panjang untuk dijelaskan. Umumnya ia berkaitan radang otot, saraf serta otak. Kesan jangka panjang juga amat banyak seperti kerosakan hati, buah pinggang dan otak. Oleh itu, adalah lebih baik kita menghindarinya daripada cuba memperjudikan nasib dengannya. Kerap kali terdapat binatang pemangsa seperti biawak memungut dan memakan bangkai ikan ini tetapi akhirnya ia turut menjadi bangkai. Ini menunjukkan ikan itu cukup berbisa untuk membunuh pemangsanya. Apa yang dikhuatiri kemungkinan berlakunya seseorang memungut ikan mati dan hanyut akibat racun ini tanpa mengetahui latar belakang kematian ikan berkenaan. Sudah semestinya risiko keracunan lebih serius akan berlaku. Dari itu, sebaiknya hendaklah jangan dipungut sebarang ikan hanyut kerana ia berbahaya.

If you going on your first Bass fishing trip and you haven't done any fishing ever before it can be a bit daunting to try and find the right fishing tackle
Have you ever watched those cable TV programs that feature the bass pro fisherman? I do -- I watch them all the time -- I love them, in fact. Have you ever noticed how many of these guys are really into the latest bass fishing tackle items?

Bass fishing is a sport that attracts thousands of sportsmen to area lakes every year. Canada, Mexico and the United States all have various types of bass in their rivers, but most fishermen appreciate the famous Large Mouth Bass. This is one of the most sought after species because of the rewarding experience of catching one.

If you going on your first Bass fishing trip and you haven't done any fishing ever before it can be a bit daunting to try and find the right fishing tackle. The moment you step in to a shop that sells fishing tackle, or better yet a shop that specializes in fishing, you will see that there are thousands of items to choose from. Things like lures, reels and rods are there in so many forms and variations and they exist because each one is needed in its own situation. For a beginner this can be shocking and even a reason not to go fishing but you should not let this huge assortment of fishing items to choose from get you down. As a beginner you don't have to know what all the different items are for just try and get the basics.

Tip Action: This tells you if the tip is soft or maybe more stiff. When the tip of your rod is soft then you will be able to make a more accurate cast, but on the other hand it will make the choice of lures a lot smaller.
A Rod: We begin with the most difficult item in your bass fishing tackle, the decision which rod you need to buy. You already know that there are a lot of rods you can choose from. One can get a special rod for every type of fish you can catch or for the special lures that are available. The choice of rod largely depends on the type of lure you will be using. Looking at them you would not say so, but a fishing rod is a complex piece of tackle. When we talk about bass fishing rods there are four points to look for and these are tip action, length, power and sensitivity.
Power: When we talk about power what this means is the weight of the rodBusiness Management Articles, is it heavy or light. When you are going for bigger fish then you will need a heavier rod.
Length: The type of fishing you are going to do and the type of lures you will be using will dictate the length of the rod.

Opportunity to make SA marine parks a little fairer

HELP THE RECREATIONAL FISHING FAMILIES FIGHT
BACK!

Don’t let recreational anglers go unheard and get walked all over.
Time to Start fighting back!
We Fish and We have had enough...
We Want Recognition, Consultation, and a fair go...

email us at info@wefish.com.au









We need all anglers to sign and share this petition and all angling groups, fishing media, fishing personalities, the tackle industry and anyone that has anything to do with fishing to not only promote this petition but plead with its followers/ fans/viewers/customers to sign it and share it. So far the support from the few I have spoken to has been amazing.







We as anglers need to stick together now more than ever, the vote on this private members bill will have affect us all even never plan on going to SA for a fish, just last week the VNPA (Victorian National Parks Association) has once again raised it head to advocate the expansion of Victorian marine parks, after 4 years of hiding, since its 2010 joke of a desk top study that looked like it was written by a 7 year old shame, and according to the article it appears they have got a commitment from the Victorian Labor government.
Labor has committed to “the creation and protection of a world-class system of national and marine parks”.


Some back ground information on SA
State Liberal Environment spokeswoman Michelle Lensink, has introduced a Private members bill into the SA parliament that will effectively allow fishing to continue in 12 of the 84 marine parks to come into effect on the 1st October this year, by changing the zones from sanctuaries to habitat protection.

The Private members bill

This bill has already been passed in the State parliament’s upper house and now needs to be passed in the Lower House on the 16th September.  But it will need the support from the two independents Geoff Brock and Martin Hamilton-Smith who hold the balance of power if it is to get up.

Make no mistake about this, with NSW allowing land based fishing to continue in marine sanctuaries, the federal government rewriting the management plans for the commonwealth marine parks (it’s the management plans that prevent fishing). The tide has begun to turn on PEWS dirty little plan and they know it!
They have sent their big gun Paul Sheridan to try and get their desired outcome. Some of you remember Paul Sheridan from a previous blog update.




This time PEW has enlisted the support from a few dive shop owners in SA, to spruik its propaganda this is the Facebook page they have set up.






This group has been relentless on removing any post and banning anyone that doesn’t share its propaganda message; legitimate concerns about our marine environment have been removed if it doesn’t suit their propaganda machine. This group isn’t concerned with the health of our marine environment one bit, but totally focused on continuing PEWS unwarranted attack on fishing in Australia. Below are just a few screen shots of posts that have been removed.
















The hypocrisy of this attack is second to none, while it is advocating the banning of fishing in marine parks, PEW and its puppets the Save SA marine parks group completely fail to even acknowledge other threats, a clear example is shark feeding tourism, which is now globally recognised by experts to not only negatively change shark behaviour but also modify they bio diversity of the area. The SA government has even named Rodney Fox the shark dive operator as their SA marine park ambassador, what a joke! Of course the last thing PEW wants to do is attack a small minority who blindly support them even if their actions threaten the very area they say we need to protect! 
Here is a link to a recent SA study that lightly touched on the shark feeding issue, there are plenty more available just Google it.


 


The CAR model of marine parks that PEW has been pushing requires a precautionary approach, where you regulate any activity even if the evidence is inconclusive!

So here we have a group advocating the banning of fishing in areas that are currently in pristine condition. Now there might be a case to have some sort of regulation to fishing in areas that are in very bad condition, but banning fishing in our well managed fisheries has very little to no benefit, there is nothing that we cannot do better and more efficiently with our current fisheries management, that using marine parks that are a very blunt tool, that do little more than banning anglers form these areas, simple MARINE PARKS ARE NOT A FISHERIES MANAGEMENT TOOL!


As I write this the PEW and 4 dive shop owners petition opposing the Liberal Environment spokeswoman bill has just under 3000 signatures, lets show them just how much of a minority they are, and what recreational fisherman can achieve when we are pushed!

Please don’t just sign and share the link to our petition, but promote the hell out of it, ask everyone you know to sign it and promote it as well. The sleeping giant has awoken and he is pissed!
