# 311 Floating and fishing the tributaries of Bolshaya river
Challenging and varied fishing, combined with stunning scenery, make crystal clear waters of these small rivers a fascinating destination for the fisherman. Every year pacific salmon migrates up to Bolshaya river, to spawn in its tributaries and mainstream. All five species of salmon make the journey. And let's not forget the plentiful char, kundzha, rainbow trout, grayling that are available throughout the season. The salmon come into the river by the hundreds of thousands, bringing with them brown bears. Bears may be met close and personal!
Salmon are big and plentiful, wilderness is really breathtaking - every part of the trip will be an unforgettable experience for you!
