Fishing Lake Baikal

On our planet Earth there are many mysterious and mythical places to visit but none more so than Lake Baikal.  The lake, is an enigma with its depth at somewhere around 5300feet and a surface area of 12,248 square miles, holding around 20% of the earth's fresh water. This is the home of the worlds' only freshwater seals-"Nerpa", these animals are very skittish around humans as for centuries they have been hunted for their pelts, fats and flesh. In extreme winter the lake surface freezers over and forms a layer of crystal clear ice up to 2 metres deep.  There are many legends on how the lake was formed but this is the most popular-“It is said that a huge stone fell from the sky like they do now, sometimes. While it was falling it became red hot. When it hit the earth, the earth shook. There appeared a crack through which was seen a fire blazing. The people began to chant ‘Bai, gal!’ which, translated from Buryat, means ‘Fire, stop!’ Earth, stone, and water came to a boil, and in that turmoil Lake Baikal was born.”

And if you think the legend of the lake sounds interesting, wait till you fish there, it's like nowhere else in the world and many of the fish there are not found anywhere else in the world.

So get your friends, family or fellow club members together and let's go FISHING!
