Thank you for a very difficult job that has become a great documentary! He was engaged in the protection of fish in Russia, the number of poachers over the past 10 years has decreased hundreds of times. Now there are very large fines and criminal liability. Good luck brother, from a fly fishing enthusiast from Russia.
What a shockingly fascinating but truthfully saddening film. More films like this at the very least should be a starting point for raising awareness about the ecological, recreational and cultural value of the Camchucka river. My daughter is 7 too and i found it hard to watch your outlook on what her future holds for her. Thank you for sharing, however hard it was to watch...
My name is Nemanja (girlfriends UA-cam account in case anyone gets confused) Rolf your film is spectacular, educational, touching, eye opening. Thank you all for it. I watched a video of this guy a few years back..fishing there with his friends, unhooking one fish to realise that another had swallowed his fly whilst he's checking the one in the net - straight after I sent the link to my dad and said, one day, we'll fish that river. - Once he had seen the video he said, son, we fished like this on the Prača Canyon in the 80's and yet in less then 40 years now that same canyon is about to be sank by a dam as many other rivers are or have been in Bosnia (Ex Yugoslavia) Not even sure why I'm saying all this but I guess I have found your film has a familiar note that resonates with things I've heard before from my dad and times I'd wished to have witnessed.. it's great people are being made aware of the issues ahead in a creative way as portrayed here. But the lack of respect or simply ignorance majority of mankind shows towards our natural resources in the form that they are in is proving devastating. There is nothing harder then feeling outnumbered in a fight to preserve the nature as it is, which is clearly captured in the faces and voices of the characters in this documentary. That same feeling leads me to an old saying "live simply, so that others can simply live" m.t. and holds true, if only more people would realise it. Apologies for my rambles and once again thanks for the great cinematography & story telling.
More than promoting a fishing camp, this beautiful film promotes preservation of wilderness against human eco-folly and greed in 20 minutes of lush scenery and haunting interviews of fishing guests, camp operators, and guides. Spellbinding. Kamchatka and New Zealand are two places on this little blue globe floating in space that I've yet had the privilege of fly fishing.
Beautiful...there is a real sense of honesty to your work. Even a dyed-in-the-wool cynic like myself has to admit being touched by the raw beauty of the land set against the raw emotion that comes with its destruction. I look forward to a possible follow-up on this subject.
Fantastic! It was refreshing to have a film convey pure passion and raw emotion rather than non-stop action and hero shots. Looking forward to more... keep up the great work!
what do you mean with 50 fps look? i thought this was 25fps, how can you tell the difference? Im new to film making so sorry if my question is stupid :)
this is not only phenomenally recorded, but so inspirational and heart warming to see the efforts being made to preserve what we have left on earth and not only for fishing but for the sake of our earth and our next generations to come. thank you for this brothers.
I shudder to think of what is happening in and around these rivers while so much financial pressure is on Russia with the war. I can imagine that destructive money making operations are at an all time high with hardly anyone available to help preserve the environment at a time like this in Russia. Thank you for bringing awareness to this issue Rolf, and we can only hope that things will change in the future.
So crazy how I just binge watched about 5-6 hours of your content and I’m just getting into this one. Thanks for all of your hard work, excited to see what is still to come.
Fantastique et émouvant témoignage de la beauté et de l'horreur.Merci pour ce témoignage!!!!comment mieux lutter contre ces massacres qu'en témoignant et affichant cette beauté de nature. Merci et Bravo!!!!
This film moved me to tears. It is heartbreaking to see the destruction of such wonder by human greed. I have fly-fished all my adult life, taught my sons, and hope to shortly teach my grandchildren: but what will they inherit? Every fly fisher MUST become a radical conservationist: we must fight for every river, every stream, every ditch. It is hard, but we can - we must - win. Have a look at "The Blue Heart" video, about how locals have fought devastating dam projects in the Balkans. Thank you Rolf & Peter: your work makes a difference.
As a thirteen year old who would love to pursue a profession in fly fishing, a opportunity like this where I can make a difference in the environment would be a ideal one
Rolf, thanks a lot for such a great work. Living in Russia, agree with all the problems u've mentioned in this film. We are trying to do all the best for saving pure nature streams and rivers as they are, but its very sad that we are in minority...
I love this film...i love kamchatka and its nature ...i will keep going back there until i die...i love to walk in the florests there, to apreciate its wonderful nature and to fly fish... i am a brazilian and i love to go to our amazon as to go to kamchatka....incredible places...without very many human beings...hope its stay like that...humans are not good at all....we face the same problems in Brazil... where we fly fish for huge peacock bass,,,,humans atre destroying it slowly...
Beautiful film! It was a pleasure to view and share your passion. I have been to Katmai, but have always wondered about Kamchatka and Primorye and what an adventure they would be. Sadly, my home state of California will lose most of its salmon runs in the next few decades. Too many people needing water. The message of this beautiful film is becoming reality.
Great film and great reminder of what happens if we are not conscious enough to keep things untouched to good extent for the sake of sustainability best demonstrated by the local keen community who live as part of that eco system. Not to mention, we live in cities that is systematically exploiting local water system. We drain our waste into our local water system, pretend we are not part of destructive machine we call CITY, we pay tax to hire someone else to take care of that mess so we have time to go fishing, but then complain that we don't see good fish here and there.
the brutal reality is that it will all be gone. for everyone of is that laments the loss of it there are thousands that could care less. after every good cry about it, i feel even more blessed to be here now.
Emotional and moving piece of film. Anyone who is involved in Fresh water fishing, should take a look at this. The end of the road, has already arrived and we have been in that place for sometime. This film reconfirms this, we must do everything we can to reverse the destruction and protect the wilderness. Not for us, as it's us, that must amend, it's this generation responsible for the collapse. It is only the end if we are not active. However if we unite, with unity, we can make a change.
It'll be just another notch in the belt if we can't find ways to protect waters like this. As is inevitable with any unprotected lands and water, it will be raped and destroyed of it's riches by humans. People never think for the future and the damage that even just a little bit of alteration, land developing, poaching, or hunting can do. It can be such a small thing that destroys the balance that makes this river so amazing for fishing, and nobody every considers the consequences on the future generations or even the current one. Places like this deserve to be protected and preserved. The beauty and bounty that this river provides speaks for itself, and without proper care and restrictions it would be decimated within 100 years. This video was excellent, and I really hope this group can keep driving poachers away and keep this cut of beauty alive, for the future generations of fisherman and wilderness explorers.
amazing film, the pure heart ache these guys feel about this destruction is inspiring to me and just draws me in, seems like even in the most obscure locations humans find a way to disable the ecosystem
Great camera work and great story. Fishermen with good intentions are one of the advocates and guards of the nature. There will never be enough water/fishing police to guard rivers, lakes from the idiots. It's all about the education, so get your children out in the nature and teach them the attitude. It's not a year's run. It's decades, centuries.
What can I do to help? I'll come start an outfitter, be a guide, hold a gun, tie knots, land and unhook fish for people...whatever it takes. This video touched me at the core.
Have these problems gotta better since this documentary came out? I can’t believe they’re killing the bears too and now the mine.. look up the good work that Trout Unlimited is doing in Bristol Bay for those salmon runs.
Thank you for a very difficult job that has become a great documentary! He was engaged in the protection of fish in Russia, the number of poachers over the past 10 years has decreased hundreds of times. Now there are very large fines and criminal liability.

Greed is everywhere. We never seem to understand what "enough" means until there's nothing left to take. What a shame. Wonderful video, thanks for it.
The best 20 minutes I've seen on UA-cam.
Now excuse me, I have to move to the Russian wilderness and protect the Salmon.
What a shockingly fascinating but truthfully saddening film. More films like this at the very least should be a starting point for raising awareness about the ecological, recreational and cultural value of the Camchucka river. My daughter is 7 too and i found it hard to watch your outlook on what her future holds for her. Thank you for sharing, however hard it was to watch...
This is a brilliant film, Rolf!
Huge respect Rolf. God Bless Will Blair and friends
What an absolutely amazing, raw, brutally honest, brilliantly shot, saddening and beautifully inspiring film - well done to all!
Off the Scale magazine I couldn’t have said it any better. I was starting to lose interest in fishing films, until I just recently saw this piece.
My name is Nemanja (girlfriends UA-cam account in case anyone gets confused)
Rolf your film is spectacular, educational, touching, eye opening. Thank you all for it.

- Once he had seen the video he said, son, we fished like this on the Prača Canyon in the 80's and yet in less then 40 years now that same canyon is about to be sank by a dam as many other rivers are or have been in Bosnia (Ex Yugoslavia)
Not even sure why I'm saying all this but I guess I have found your film has a familiar note that resonates with things I've heard before from my dad and times I'd wished to have witnessed.. it's great people are being made aware of the issues ahead in a creative way as portrayed here.

Spellbinding. Kamchatka and New Zealand are two places on this little blue globe floating in space that I've yet had the privilege of fly fishing.
I took a huge risk. This film hurt my business but was the right thing to do.
Beautiful and terrifying. A well told story. One of the very few fishing films I've watched from beginning to end without looking at the time.
Beautiful...there is a real sense of honesty to your work. Even a dyed-in-the-wool cynic like myself has to admit being touched by the raw beauty of the land set against the raw emotion that comes with its destruction. I look forward to a possible follow-up on this subject.
Fantastic! It was refreshing to have a film convey pure passion and raw emotion rather than non-stop action and hero shots. Looking forward to more... keep up the great work!
Absolutely incredible. Love the 50fps look. I need to get there one day and film this beautiful place
what do you mean with 50 fps look? i thought this was 25fps, how can you tell the difference? Im new to film making so sorry if my question is stupid :)
Stunning videography! So sad poaching is happening and it should be stopped!
this is not only phenomenally recorded, but so inspirational and heart warming to see the efforts being made to preserve what we have left on earth and not only for fishing but for the sake of our earth and our next generations to come. thank you for this brothers.
I LOVE THE CINEMATOGRAPHY!!! Finally, a nature documentary for ME!🤘🏽ATLEECHNYA!!!
You are the true inspiration. The documentary on the highest level. I'm opening beer and watching all your vids. Well done sir!

Fantastic! Just added another destination to the bucket list.
As I watch your films, I am amazed at the beauty of your creations, the video, narration and editing, thank you
hey guys...awesome piece of moving pictures. Hats off because you did amazing job to capture it so touchy way
Really great movie. Other vibe than your other video's, loved the whole story and I hope they'll save that beautiful place
Fantastiskt vacker film, Rolf. Samtidigt väldigt sorgligt det som är påväg att hända runtom i världen 😔
This film moved me to tears. It is heartbreaking to see the destruction of such wonder by human greed.

Absolutely agree 100% and we all need to do a better job at it. Good to hear you are passing on those values to the next generation Ned.
Oroligt tragisk naturfilm ja blir så uppgiven och trött över all exploatering och förstörelse.
Otroligt vackert foto som vanligt👌
As a thirteen year old who would love to pursue a profession in fly fishing, a opportunity like this where I can make a difference in the environment would be a ideal one
Great film Rolf. Tragic to see what people are capable of doing to these special places.
Rolf, thanks a lot for such a great work. Living in Russia, agree with all the problems u've mentioned in this film. We are trying to do all the best for saving pure nature streams and rivers as they are, but its very sad that we are in minority...
This is very eye-opening
You deserve 1 million subscribers

Shared to every fly fishing group. Hope you get more views, likes ams subscribers. Deserve way more attention this channel!
Very moving documentary. Brought a tear to my eye at the end.
Absolutely incredible film. Inspirational. When will we “get it”? Will we ever “get it”?
Ciao , complimenti per il fantastico documentario , natura meravigliosa , bellissima e grandiosa !
Only just found your channel, absolutely amazing videos, deserve more views
Ni är magiska mina herrar, keep up the good work!
Another great film Rolf, keep it going fella :)

We all are lost In the face of human greed...And such unbelievably good people like in this movie can do nothing but cry....:( It is so sad...
I’d absolutely dedicate my life to saving this place.
I have.
Great content! Excellent pulling of the heart strings. Keep at creating these types of videos. Positive change can come from human nature as well.
Fantastic piece of work, a great story well told..
Wow! Absolutely amazing 👍🏴
Beautiful. Well done.
Great message...looking forward to your next story!
This was recommended and I cannot believe the quality of video and information
the brutal reality is that it will all be gone. for everyone of is that laments the loss of it there are thousands that could care less. after every good cry about it, i feel even more blessed to be here now.

Thank you for a fantastic video. The beginning subtitle sadly reminds me though that only 35% of wilderness, as per your definition, remains.
Great work!
Need more of this 💁

What a beautiful and sad tale. What the hell is wrong with us?
beautiful work !
Thanks for the great video Rolf!
ps. can you tell me the name of the "whistling song" from the intro?
Thanks, I called it "Kamchatka", but it's just me whistling...
You are a man of many talents, rolf. You even have a sexy whistle. I am not gay, but that is still a sexy whistle. Straight out of a 70's western
Really cool song, but i can't find it anywhere. What is the artist called?
Oooh, you're the artist... Wauw, really good job
Did you make any tabs for it?? Og just something so i could play it aswell?
Just as good now as it was during the F3T!
Great film!
Amazing job.
Those blonde bears look similar to North American Grizzly. I love the drone shot of that huge bear fishing!
Really beautiful.
Great job with the video. i hope more people get to see it and eventually get inspired from it.
amazing film, the pure heart ache these guys feel about this destruction is inspiring to me and just draws me in, seems like even in the most obscure locations humans find a way to disable the ecosystem
good movie but wtf is with volume why so low ?
Probably my fault!
Speechless great work
Feeling: grief.
Did you guys produce a shorter version? If so provide link.
beautiful. Anyone who knows the name of the whisteling song at the start?
Thanks. It is Rolf the narrator whistling, I don't know how he does it.
perfect film
Spectacular.
Could you please tell me the name of the river where this film was shot?
The Ozernaya
@@RolfNylinder Thanks!
It’s the greatest salmonid river of all time.
Very nice film! My name is Elisey, I`m from Russia.
What recourse do you guys have when you see poachers like that? Really sad but beautiful documentary!
That was a great fish. However, I gotta say, in Alaska, trout above 30 inches are not unheard of.
Great camera work and great story. Fishermen with good intentions are one of the advocates and guards of the nature. There will never be enough water/fishing police to guard rivers, lakes from the idiots. It's all about the education, so get your children out in the nature and teach them the attitude. It's not a year's run. It's decades, centuries.
What can I do to help? I'll come start an outfitter, be a guide, hold a gun, tie knots, land and unhook fish for people...whatever it takes. This video touched me at the core.
wow a good one, real documentary
Amazing and beautiful.
Nice Job! Congrats!! What kind of camera was used for this footage guys? #rolf nylinder
Thanks Valentin, we used Sony FS700's and an Inspire 1 Pro drone.
The authorities need to enforce the regs... Overall great video!
Are those searun rainbows?
They are resident river fish Josh. There is a steelhead run on Kamchatka's west coast.
grande émotion
why are there rainbow trout in a Russian river? are they stocked or somehow wild?
They are native to Kamchatka.
18:45 i cried
Paweł Fiedorczuk me too.
So did I. In the movie. Those are real tears.
@@willblair1077 looks like after Russia invade Ukraine all gone. Russia became North Korea.
it s make me cry.. nice Job
Hi,
Thank you for the great video! It's so beautiful and so sad. What the camera you used? Cheers!
I feel you
Kung Rolf! Slog dig en pling för några veckor sedan och ringde från Viasat haha
Yes!
36 people gave this movie a thumbs down. What the fuck! Epic storytelling.
Love it!
‘Oh mah fukin gawd’ 6:05
Many can't understand...
bravo !
Great vdo.
everyone should watch this. not only flyfisherman. everyone!
Have these problems gotta better since this documentary came out? I can’t believe they’re killing the bears too and now the mine.. look up the good work that Trout Unlimited is doing in Bristol Bay for those salmon runs.
