The last frontier?

I know, I know... These video clips are easy postings, but I just keep running into great videos!

Here's a new video coming up on trout fishing in Kamchatka Peninsula. These guys float and fish rivers which have never seen people, fishermen and fish that has never seen a fly. Virgin (big!) trout country. Probably the last part on earth.

Check out the scene (around 3:10) with the trout chasing the mouse on the surface. Man, we don't see that kind of behavior out here?!



Update 18 June 2011:
I watched the DVD.

Hmm... not exactly what I expected or hoped for. Lots of talking by the members of the group that made the journey together. Yes, Kamchatka is the what Alaska probably looked like 100 years ago: very remote and untouched.

What I hoped was to see how amazing the fishing is in Kamchatka, the diversity of the wild life, the amazing numbers of free flowing rivers and streams and just plain untouched wilderness. The DVD is in my humble opinion too much of a "We had a great time on the trip" movie. Sorry if I step on a few toes here.
