PONOI
- RUSSIA TOUR BY JERRY SALTZGABER
Jerry Saltzgaber, Chip Fudge, and Chuck Ferrell
spent 2.5 weeks pursuing Atlantic Salmon on the
Ponoi River in Russia followed by some touring,
primarily in Russia. Jerry’s report:
“It was a great trip--both the fishing and the
touring.
I caught 90 fish in five days--76 Atlantic Salmon
and 14 sea run brown trout. We fished mainly with
light sink tips and tube flies, but also caught a
few on the surface. We fished with two and a guide
to a boat--a different guide and beat everyday.
There were 18 fishermen--7 Russians, 8 Brits and us
three Americans. It was a great trip--both the
fishing and the touring.
I
fished with a Russian every day and really enjoyed
the discussions about our countries. The camp,
tents, food, guides, etc were first class--and
better than the Rio Grande.
We toured Amsterdam, Helsinki ( briefly ), St
Petersburg and Moscow. Saw and did everything first
class.”
