Good size Siberian taimen with a fly, Tugur River, Russian Far East
In June 2010 I was lucky to participate in a float-trip in the Tugur River, which flows into the Sea of Okhotsk north from the Amur River. Tugur is, I think, the best taimen river of the world. Recently some fish over 40 kg were landed here. The weather was rainy, and the water rather high and murky.
Regardless to non-favorable water conditions, I have landed a good size taimen: 137 cm (57") with 68 cm (27") girth. Calculated weight - about 27 kg (60 pounds). Tackle - 15' 10 weight rod, 15' sink tip, 0.42 mm tippet, 15 cm long "articulated" streamer.
This is the fly
Sorry, no more details for now, I am going to Kamchatka!
