Vladimir Rybalchenko's Address to the Friends of the Atlantic Salmon Reserve | ||
![]() | Dear Friends, Probably you know already about an important event that took place in the ASR. On 16th June, it was announced at Kharlovka that Peter Power has handed over his camps, famous throughout the world, to me, Vladimir Rybalchenko. It was not a simple decision for me to undertake this responsibility of securing the future of the ASR. | |

![]() | Saturday evening six exited fly fishermen, all experienced from previous trips to the tundra, arrived the famous Wulf's Lear, the camp known for its exceptional ability to give up some of the biggest trout on the tundra. The weather was rather on the nasty side, windy and cold, but the river was still in good shape, with low water and 13 C. Igor settled camp while watching the Home Pool and immediately reported rising fish. The only one instantly not in his waders was Jon................. | |

Perfect weather, according to our WAGs back home, but pretty far from what six trout fishermen was hoping for............... | |
Trout fishing report Rynda Canoeing Report week 6 ending Friday, 8-July-11 | ||
![]() | Except for Mortens father Per, the group paddled the Rynda two years ago and the Pina River last year. Morten wanted to take his father, a renowned Norwegian scientist and a famous specialist on trout, to these fantastic rivers. Per experienced some of the most fantastic caddis hatches one could possibly witness. He waded into the stream on slippery rocks, canoed down rapids and caught fish in the best conditions he had ever seen! If anyone had second thoughts about taking a senior fly fisher along, they proved to be wrong. Being an expert he had a lot of to give to this group of experienced fly fishermen. We had a great week with Per! | |
