Moscow
To come to Russia without visiting Moscow means to know nothing about Russia and its people. Prince Yuri Dolgorouky founded Moscow in 1147. It was the capital of Russia from 15th century until 1712, and again from 1918 to present day. All stages of the complex diverse history of Russia, which spreads from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific, left their traces on Moscow's look. Now it's one of the greatest cities in the world - political, cultural, scientific, and industrial center of Russia

Moscow
To come to Russia without visiting Moscow means to know nothing about Russia and its people. Prince Yuri Dolgorouky founded Moscow in 1147. It was the capital of Russia from 15th century until 1712, and again from 1918 to present day. All stages of the complex diverse history of Russia, which spreads from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific, left their traces on Moscow's look. Now it's one of the greatest cities in the world - political, cultural, scientific, and industrial center of Russia

Fishing in the land of Thousand Waterfalls for siberian taimen - big Asian salmonid which is known to weigh over 150 pounds. Due its inaccessibility, this region has remained a corner of pristine wilderness, uninfluenced by man. Aside from the natives, the Putorana, and an occasional geologist or gamekeeper, this paradise is virtually uninhabited.

Fishing in the Land of a Thousand Waterfalls. 9 days
Region: Russia, Northern Siberia, Taimir
Activity: fishing, rafting
Trip Category: regular
Siberian Taimen - this big Asian salmonid is known to weigh over 150 pounds. It is not anadromous, living in rivers where it feeds as an active predator. The taimen is one of four species in a genus of strictly freshwater Eurasian salmonids, remotely similar to the Atlantic salmon, with a proportionally larger head and adapose fin. His mouth is huge, with strong, canine-like teeth canted slightly back into the throat and jaws are very heavy. Coloration is attractive, with dark, pea-sized spots arranged in Xs on a gray background. The tail is bright red and fins are gray, like the body color.
The taimen is a legendary fighting fish among Russian angles. They say that one the first run they may take 250 feet of line from your spool, with high-speed run that is virtually impossible to stop.
"...Using imitation tundra mice as bait, you wait for night to fall. In the polar dusk, the taimen comes out hunting. The taimen is commonly referred to as the "river shark" because of its voraciousness and wild temper. From under water the taimen seeks the track of the tundra mouse, which crosses the river during its seasonal migration. The fish spots its target, stuns it with his tail and waits 2-3 seconds before grabbing the bait. The battle begins! Time will tell who wins -- you or the fish. If an hour or two later, you win, you then have earned the right of passage as a professional, whose qualifications have been certified in Siberia". In the southern part of the Taimir Peninsula lies the Putorana Mountains, the northern mountain plateau, inside the Arctic Circle. This huge mountainous dome, (146,000 sq. miles) resembles an ancient giant tortoise shell, embedded with deep wrinkles of gorges and canyons.
As summer approaches, melting snow creates tremendous rushes of water throughout these canyons, creating incredible rivers ranging from Class 2 to Class 5. Countless waterfalls present one of the world's most spectacular sights and give this region its native name -- "Land of a Thousand Waterfalls".
Due its inaccessibility, this region has remained a corner of pristine wilderness, uninfluenced by man. Aside from the natives, the Putorana, and an occasional geologist or gamekeeper, this paradise is virtually uninhabited. For the avid fisherman and whitewater enthusiast, this is the last unclaimed wilderness. On our exclusive 9-day adventure rafting and fishing the Gorbiachin River, you will have the chance of a lifetime to take on the famous "big game" fish of Siberia. In the crystal waters you will find all imaginable species of grayling, salmon, brown trout, pike, perch, taimen, etc.
Fly fishing on Taimir is good for catching grayling up to 3 lbs., brown trout up to 8 lbs. and salmon "Golets" up to 20 lbs. Enjoy the catch -- smoked, baked, fried or poached as you experience the culture of Russian folk songs around a campfire, breathtaking scenery and comradely in the truest sense of the word. The group size is kept small to maximize the essence of this enchanting, remote land.
