Fishing and Hunting on the rivers Grube-Yu and Lemva

If you want to forget daily vanity and for a short time have life stand still – there is no better place to visit than the river Lemva and its tributaries Grube-Yu, Kharuta and others.
The Lemva is one of the largest tributaries of the river Usa in the pre-polar Urals - in its headwaters the river flows swiftly with sharp turns, shallows and fords. Quite often the river divides into channels and after the mouth of the river Parnok-Yu (right tributary of the river Lemva) it becomes broader and the velocity of the current decreases. Below the mouth of the river Khaima (the right tributary) the Lemva is already flat. It flows through hilly districts among forests and has a width of about 60 m - sometimes breaking into channels, forming big woody islands.  Further downstream other tributaries flow into the river: Grube-Yu, Kharuta, Paga and others.
The river is calm without rapids - nature is wild and untouched around you in this uninhabited area. Fishing on the river and its tributaries is excellent. It is possible to catch European grayling up to 2-3 kg. and also there are other species such as loach and salmon trout. In August - September it is possible to catch loach in the lower part of the river.  

During this tour Hunters will have a fine opportunity to hunt on black cocks, hazel grouses and wood grouses.  Besides, there is real possibility to meet northern deer, elk and a bear.

Optimal time for rafting – August - September.
It is necessary to take into account that depending on the month of visiting the pre-polar Urals, the tour has specific peculiarities.
June – a beautiful mysterious time of white nights in the pre-polar Urals.
Air temperature is +5 - +20OC - this time is characterized by high levels of water in the rivers.  Temperature of the water is about +7OC. For tourists it is necessary to have additional warm clothes, as during the passage through the fords water will flow over the rafts.
July-August - during this time in the pre-polar Urals the summer is at its peak – the sun is shining twenty-four hours a day. Air temperature is +10 - +30OC.
September - night frosts are possible. Air temperature is +5 - +20OC - but this is the best time in mountains – the time of picturesque golden autumn. In the autumn in the taiga there are many mushrooms and different kinds of berries.
