Preparation for the trip to Kamchatka includes tying numerous, very bright flies for salmon and charr
The main goal of the trip was participation in a fly-casting and fly-fishing seminar, which was organized by a tackle store Orbita Rybolova (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski, Kamchatka, Russia)
Before and after the seminar I was able to fish the lower part of the Avacha River. It is popular among the local sportfishermen. Poachers are also plentiful.

Fresh pink salmon (June 20, 2010) with sea lice. Pink salmon were biting pink and red flies. The most efficient presentation was slow retrieve after a downstream (or downstream-and-across) cast. The size of the flies should be between #10 and #4
Little chinook (5 kg) caught with a fly
The fly which I was using - a yellow-and-blue String Leech
Tiny resident charr caught with a wobbler fly
The same fly was also working well for anadromous Dolly Varden charr
