Wild Salmon Center

Wild Salmon Center was founded in 1992 by avid fly-fishermen Pete Soverel and Tom Pero. Former Navy captain Pete Soverel was one of a small group of western anglers to explore the flyfishing possibilities in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, and in 1994 he began organizing expeditions with scientists and fishermen to the rivers of Kamchatka, a sparsely populated 800-mile-long peninsula that had hosted former Soviet navy and air force installations.
