This film is such a double edged sword for me. The conservation effort is fantastic, no doubt, and as a fisherman myself I know that the people most engaged in fish population preservation are those who wish to collect the benefits of those populations. However it feels so hollow for rich westerners from nations that have effectively destroyed their own salmon populations to fly into a pristine wilderness and lecture the plebs about how great it is. They could put the money and effort they spend on fishing abroad into preservation of domestic fisheries, but they don´t. Why? Because our rivers in the Nordics for example are controlled by huge energy companies that have totally decimated salmon populations. That´s a difficult battle to win, so if you have the means you might as well escape to rivers that your living standard hasn´t ruined yet. Which brings me to the other issue with this film, the way the "poachers", as you call them, are treated. Salmon runs have fed people since the beginning of time, and regulation for the benefit of westerners is ruining a traditional lifestyle that would actually be completely sustainable without the ruination that western societies have bestowed upon their own rivers. Unless the poachers in this video are netting the entire river delta they would probably have less of an effect on salmon population than any of the classy and proper C&R gentlemen are having by just living in countries with hydro power. Apparently poaching incidents are very rare, so even the C&R stress on the fish population in this specific river could actually be greater than the poaching stress. All that being said, this was a great and inspiring film. I just wish people would realize that there is no need to fly to foreign lands to have great salmon fishing. We could have similar fishing much closer to home if we just made a bit of an effort and got our priorities straight. Even if I had the opportunity to fly to Russia for some amazing fishing I probably wouldn´t, because it would mostly serve as a depressing reminder of how badly salmonids are doing where I live.

I grew up poor and I'm still very poor I spend more than 75% of my annual income on nothing more than fishing and hunting supplies I love nature with all my heart I love the fact that these people put so much time and effort into protecting this species and keeping it Untouched by man I hope that one day I too will get to enjoy the beauty of this place and many more

Magnificent film. I know i,ll never get there but it genuinely warms my soul to know that this very special place exists. And will continue to exist as it is . Thank you.

What a tremulous video illustrating the efforts to save our Atlantic Salmon as well as enjoy them. Oh I wish I was there

Love it . Hats off to you guys. The best salmon fishing video I found on you tube. Please keep it that way. There is hope for the rest of the world. Conservation is the science that we must share and spread throughout the world. Whatever works to save the species can help them thrive . We keep hearing about overfishing. We’re here we have a pristine river and a growing population of salmon. It’s not gonna be easy but I think it can be duplicated throughout the world .We need to clean up our rivers. This is a great conservation model. And we can learn from it. So good to see these great size Atlantic salmon that we only hear about it. Great to hear him say he took in a 50 pound or that most of the big fish get away. Thanks for Sharing. all salmon should be caught and released till there numbers come back.. Fairplay to you Russia.

Add a huge decrease in commercial fishing, habitat restoration that was caused by logging and urban sprawl, dam removal, and dam modification where dam removal isn’t possible. These are what is really needed. Rod and reel releases would help, but not much. Yet none of these solve the issue of the vanishing ocean food sources that salmonoids need. We know volcanic eruptions cause massive food booms. So maybe we could sequester car pollution from carbon capture plants to aid the planktons.

Hopefully as India develops conservation will become a higher priority. The unfortunate truth is that caring about nature is a privilege only afforded to those who have already attained a comfortable living standard. This is a catch 22 since development also often leads to extra pressures on fish populations. Hopefully you can learn from the mistakes we´ve made in the western world, but I fear that since your human population is so much higher it´s going to be a difficult battle. Are there any efforts that you know of being directed towards preservation of fish?

I have been 3 times. It's ok that's all. To tell the truth I enjoy south west Wales in the UK more. Once you catch a few it becomes a bit Monotonous. Reading the comments below I must disagree with some, it's not only the wealthy That visit, in fact far far from it. Lots of sportsmen will save every penny to go on a quality fishing trip, or shooting trip. These kind of people are another breed and love the wild and adventure.

This video changed my life.

I had Big Alex as a guide in 2006. Without him I wouldn't have been able to land the 43 pounder from the Kharlovka. He was easily the best guide ever.

I would love to fish here great work they have done and still do they all should feel proud off themself dont think i could save all that money to fish there not cheap but but a trip of a life time it would be.

Of course it’s only for the Ultra rich and their public school clients .....don’t think for a minute that any old keen fisher can go these places ... There are land owners in Scotland throwing locals off ‘ their ‘ property where people have fished for years as a right ....The People ‘ of a country should be able to fish where they wish to ...... Nobody can “ own”water or the fish in it .......

I wish it was the same here in the Pacific Northwest. The rivers and the fish should be protected, but they are not. Should catch & release all anadromous fish that migrates these rivers. It's a shame our rivers don't have much of a run of fish, and it's mostly hatcheries raised fish here.

English snob!! They should call the place snobsville, good job looking after the place it’s a pity for most of us we will never get to fish there.

well yes, i totally agree, you have to be rich to enjoy the litza, However, if you practice common sense strict conservation rules, fly only , totally catch and release etc. you would not have to pay 20.000 dollars a week to fish it!!! here in the states, it's a right to fish, not a priveledge!! we have 50.000 thousand steelhead return here at the st.joe river on some years , the best in the world!!!! they can have there privledge rules

In the UK we can’t even protect our borders never mind the salmon !! I’m talking about 500 plus immigrants that come over on boats this Easter weekend, 5000 so far this year and it’s only the 2nd of April and there has only been 14 days when it’s been calm enough in the English Channel for the illegal immigrants to cross , our country has gone down the toilet, we used to have amazing fishing on the river Spey and the river Dee but abstraction from the rivers and west coast fish farming with parasites and netting hundreds of seals that should be shot aswel and since 2023 our salmon became a protected species, and what are our government doing here absolutely nothing as it’s all about big business, fish farming and allowing the immigrants in to do the jobs that our lazy on sick people that won’t work because we have a benefit system that gets abused, we used to call it Great Britain now we need big change and reform Nick Farage is the man we need to get in power either as a leader for reform UK 🇬🇧 or the conservatives, anyway I tip my hat to Russia 🇷🇺 you have a amazing leader in president Putin and he’s a real man who loves his motherland and people and it’s rich history not like our bunch of melts like Richie sunak and khan as mayor , we have become a joke , anyway I’m off for two weeks fishing on the ray and Spey at the end of this month it might just fish well this spring!!

Well I am not a fan of there government overall but i think there the ones you should be least worried about. They have the best runs by far . When almost all the others have declined... There's a perfect storm of isolation, privatization and the russian gov there. I noticed this in cuba with marine preserves there authoritarian government. Nobody is going poaching thats for sure. I also there a company has specific guiding access to it as well.. 'Avalon'

Where are the local Russian and if there are any indigenous children seeing these fish, holding the young in their hands, see the flies and running waters...learning it is their heritage and future? After all they are ultimately the stewards that really count, and who will pass this attitude and reverence for nature on to future generations.

very cool but this video sounds too much like a very long ad

You can tell they do not allow the peons to fish here, no worm boxes,old pork and bean,and Spam cans, no butts, or water bottles.

Only remote places still have good numbers of fish. Just came from Alaska and I have seen the difference between what California full of commercial and meat eaters has to offer and what Alaska in remote places has to offer! Big diff!

Those with wealth and power have destroyed salmon and sea trout in most of Europe with there fish farms and pens. Walking over spawning ground which cause the biggest loses in river. people who been fishing rivers long before the rich and powerful got interested and took over, now call these people poachers and blame them for the loses in numbers in fish stock, there was no loses in numbers before. Think about it when was salmon fishing started and how long before that locals had been fishing the rivers for food and to sell.

Snobs, they know very little about Salmon fishing
