Baikal Kamchatka is an Ice Fishing Contest taking place on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal.
Baikal Kamchatka is not associated with a huge and beautiful peninsula of the Russian Far East “Kamchatka”, but refers to a local ice-fishing slang. Baikal’s Kamchatka means a fishing spot where anglers come together and form a long line.
The contest lasts for 5 hours; however, the duration might be changed due to the weather conditions.
For those who wants to take part in the contest but cannot, RussiaEguide offers all-year-round fishing trip to the Baikal.
Venue: Olkhon Island, Maloye Morye strait, near Tainiki cape.
