The Kapushka River is the Kingdom of Giant Rainbow Trout! Over it’s 70 miles course we sometimes only float 13 miles in a week it’s so good. It has the biggest Rainbow Trout we’ve ever seen in Kamchatka. Even better, there are lots of them and it’s the most wading friendly river I’ve ever seen! It’s shallow and wide with a pumice and gravel bottom strewn with few boulders. It flows wide and is knee deep through most of it’s course. Vast rolling mountains and volcanoes flank the shore of this ever clear spring creek. It doesn’t ever muddy. We even get to soak in a healthy hot spring in one camp.
It's the best river in Kamchatka for Big Robust Rainbows which average 24 to 26 inches here. We’ve caught them up to 35 inches in length! Char, Kings, Sockeye, slivers and Chum Salmon all spawn in this magnificent river. If you like big Rainbows, this is your dream river!
