Digging through the Russia archives for images for a submission. Came across this… different methods of transportation, from a few years ago.

Can honestly say I miss the hell out of riding the Mi-8s.

I was lucky enough to fish Ryabaga two years ago and cant wait to go back!
Fantastic place, incredible fishing, and guys like Rory or Angus made the week even more fun.

Julien, so glad you’ve gotten to experience it! The Ponoi is an amazing place… can’t wait to get back myself.

Hey, and when were you there? I was there two years ago and wondering if we overlapped…

Hi Jess,
I think you were there during the first part of the season, I fished Ryabaga for the camp closure week at the end of September beginning of October; great fishing and incredible fall scenery!!
I should have been back this year but had to cancel it for personal reason…

Great blog and keep up the good work; I hope you’ll enjoy fall time in Vermont 😉

Hey Julien,

It’s a very special place! I hope to go back someday… I can imagine the fall is fantastic.

Thanks for your kind comments on the blog; hope you have a lovely fall yourself and log some hours on the water.

Best,

Jess
