Like many other fishing destinations in the former Soviet Union, very little was known about the quality of fishing on the Kamchatka Peninsula prior to the fall of the Iron Curtin. In the early 1990s word began to leak out about the amazing Rainbow Trout fishing in this sparsely populated corner of Asia. As more and more westerners began to explore this difficult to reach area of the world, fly fishing travel professionals traveled the peninsula extensively and found un-fished rivers that hold fish populations that are reminiscent of western United States in the early 19th Century.

Of those amazing rivers Sedanka Spring Creek, discovered in 1998, is considered one of the most unique pieces of trout water in the world. The fact that its water has a subterranean origin in vast porous lava beds make it a true spring creek that never blows out during heavy rainstorms. It is very rich with insect, mouse and salmon biomass that feeds a very dense population of 18 to 30 inch native Rainbow Trout. It also is a great fishery for sea run Dolly Varden, and Kundzha.

Due to the very narrow 4 month summer season, the Sedanka’s Rainbows have learned to be very opportunistic as far as their eating prefrences are concerned. They will essentially grab at almost any life form the comes close to their feeding lie. They feed down below, but they are always looking up making the Sedanka one of the best dry fly fishing rivers in the world. You can test your skills with exotic dry fly patterns that you have created at your fly tying bench or just throw a mouse pattern at them and after a few twitches will get a violent strike. Mouse patterns always work.

Its remoteness-a 3 hour helicopter ride from Kamchatka’s largest city, Petropavlovsk- means that once you get there you and the five other guests will have it all to your selves for the whole week. It’s a walk and wade program with the boats moving you from location to location. It’s a true rustic adventure and not for those who are out of shape, yet the level of service and the accommodations are about as good as it gets considering the remoteness of the river.

Transportation along the river is via inflatable rafts that will drop you and your guide off at productive spots where you will then wade. Over the day you will work your way downstream to the evenings camp site where you will spend the night.

Mayfly and Caddis hatches peak in July. To watch a whole school of large Rainbows sipping emergers and cripples will get any fly fisherman’s heart twittering. If for some reason your presentation skills are off on any particular day, there is no reason to panic as almost any mouse pattern skittered along the surface will entice violent strikes.

During your week stay you will fish on and camp at each of the three sections of the river. In a typical week you will spend your first day fishing in the vicinity of the Upper Camp, on day two you will float to Middle Camp and of course fish along the way. On the third day, you will fish the area around Middle Camp and be transported by jet boat to productive areas. The fourth day is spent floating and fishing to the Lower Camp. On day five you will jet boat to productive areas in the vicinity of Lower Camp. On your final day, number six, you will have the morning to walk and wade around Lower Camp and then depart in the afternoon.

On a typical day you will have breakfast about 8 am and then depart along with your guide (2 fishermen per guide) for the day’s adventure. Over the week you will rotate between guides. Lunch will be served on the river and then you will return to the camp about 6 pm. Dinner is served at 8 pm after which you will gather around the fire and enjoy your cocktails and tell stories about your day’s successes. Being that you are in the land of the midnight sun, enough light remains for you to fish until midnight.
