In search of a Big Mama.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I came back, I always think about Steelhead! Steelhead in my Head.\u00a0With\u00a0 my friends Martin, Franck, Ilya, Jena aka\u00a0“Jev Geisha” and our\u00a0 Gentleman Vladimir… we organised, this year, a trip\u00a0to Kamchatka!\u00a012 time zones East,\u00a0we went\u00a0to search a Silver Arrow….called Steelhead!\u00a0That\u00a0trip is not\u00a0\u00a0is not a holiday\u00a0we flew 16 hours, drove 8 in a truck and took an helicpter foan extra hour to get to the river of our dreams.<\/p>\n

Now, we are ready! First Camp = Hope!\"camp-river\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the first day, we planned to go up the river where Steelhead\u00a0do their autumn run.\u00a0The First 3 days led us to a beautiful river, filled with\u00a0Kundja,\u00a0Mikija and one Steelhead ! But we’re not alone, we have competition on the river, a bear.\"kundja1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a very nice tent camp, easy to move and comfortable, even in the frozen mornings and snowy days! Kamchatka is a tough country especially when you go fishing mid october, you can get the four seasons in a day!\u00a0After 3 days fishing, between a warm\u00a041\u00b0F\u00a0during the day, cool nights at 30 and mornings with 14 and snow… the\u00a0\u00a0of the day\u00a0, at the evening 0\u00b0C and the morning day -5 to -10\u00b0c with snow… the score was 0 Steelhead and 2 men down (sick).\"campneige2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But we have to keep up the good mood and\u00a0tomorrow morning, we move the camp for a better sector which has more big pool for\u00a0Steelhead!\u00a0We \u00a0finaly settle into winter fishing for steelhead! Snow, wind and frozen weather all of the day. And than our friend Frank caught the first Steelhead!\u00a0Sadly, this steelhead was taken by gills with an intruder… Our Russian Guide in his best French said: C’est la vie…\"arc1\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s great to see a friend open the score of the week! Encouraging…. Now we\u00a0must persevere!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 same day, in\u00a0the evening, in the pool a front of the camp…. no one\u00a0caught\u00a0any fish! Not even a Kundja…<\/p>\n

I told myself \u00a0“Ken, there has to be a big moma that took that pool as a house, Find it!”<\/p>\n

In a mechanical mode,\u00a0I\u00a0fished every part of the pool<\/p>\n

Bang! A major\u00a0strike, a big rush on 150 yards!\u00a0It’s so good, I’m hooked, at last!\u00a0It had to be like that, I previously lost two fish I need this one!\"petite-steelhead-ken\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s it, the French Connection\u00a0<\/em>is in the game!<\/p>\n

We found the fishing we were looking for, rough weather, itinerant camp, tough fishing, psychologically challenging, everythign I like !\"kundja\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Waiting for the helicopter t take us back, our head is already filled with memories, regrets and fantaisies, because although we hooked some serious big mamas, none of them were taken to the shore, they all broke free. Now, we have to come back!<\/p>\n

Enjot the pictures, soon you’ll see the film on Le Mouching !<\/p>\n
