Russia

During the second week of the 2012 season, the tundra is starting to go green with tiny leaves on the birch trees.  The advancing spring always brings with it warmer temperatures, and the endless arctic days that allow anglers to fish the famed Ryabaga <http://www.ponoiriver.com/public/publicWrapper.php>  Home Pool through the midnight hours.  Spring in Ryabaga is the time when anglers are met with the pleasure of catching seemingly countless salmon on any given day, and it is a springtime rule that guides rarely lay down the net.  In addition to numbers this week, though, it was the size, strength, and shape of the fish that over-wintered under the ice that was a true testament to the quality of Spring fishing on Ponoi.
