Synopsis:
Fen Montaigne, an American journalist, and ex-Moscow correspondent fly-fished right across Russia. His voyage in search of fish took him from infamous gulags to the deserted gold mines of Kolyma, where starving inmates literally walked on gold, and the pristine waters of tundra rivers. This is a truly successful combination of social history and travel as well as an induction to the art of fly-fishing. It is also an illuminating expose of the poverty, hardship and lawlessness that exists in rural Russia in the 1990s. Montaigne finds himself representing a wealthy world that many of the Russians he meets can barely comprehend. Ultimately we are left with a memory of thin dawns and rich sunsets, sparsely populated riversides, burnt out relics of the Tsars' country houses, and over the fading leftovers of a Communist regime.
