Flying to the Kapushka River is a splendid flight.
Volcanoes dot the horizon and
the
vast taiga wilderness is a rare sight.
Once we land there is yet another surprise.
We get to soak in a healthy hot spring.
The Kapushka River is very wading friendly it
has a nice gravel bottom with strewn bolder's. This fish-kingdom
is wide flowing and shallow. Gentle rolling mountains flank the
shore of the clear stream.
Robust Rainbows live here as well as Char. Kings,
Silvers and Chum Salmon all spawn in this magnificent river.
This is where we coined the saying "Rainbows
like mice" We had an unforgettable experience of watching
rainbows rise for hours to catch mice. What a fun way to spend
several hours in the Russian Wilderness on a remote river
