I've been having a fun time this last little while researching possible destinations for a trip in 2013.
Long story short I have a very old friend who's been very sick for some time now but is miraculously getting better.
A while back he approached me about a fishing trip in 2013. He's had an epiphany of sorts and wants to do something special next year.
Here's the criteria:
1.Must be an outpost camp, he's not interested in lodges.
2.Multi species is important with a real shot at trophy fish.
3.Cost under $4000 for at least a week, preferably 8 or 9 days.
After much research we're pencilled in at Kasba Lake's Kazan River outpost for a 9 day trip in early August.

Miles and miles of maybe the best dry fly grayling fishing in the world, big pike and big lakers.
What's interesting to me is Ennadai lake, a 13km run down the Kazan river from the outpost camp. 80km's long and still very much an unknown and untouched commodity.
As mentioned we're pencilled in for that date and are about to send in a deposit so in fact we're not "fully" committed yet.
Before we do does anyone out there have any other interesting suggestions that meet the same criteria? It's very possible I could have missed something while researching this.
