The Bolshaya River originates on the north-western spurs of the Ganalsky Vostryaki ridge (the source of the river is taken as the beginning of the riverBystraya River); flows into a vast estuary, and then into the Sea of Okhotsk. The length of the river is 275 km .

The Bolshaya River is of no small importance as a breeding ground for West Kamchatka salmon. More than 40 thousand individuals of chinook salmon, 300 thousand – sockeye salmon, up to 20 million – pink salmon, over 100 thousand individuals of coho salmon come to spawn in this river. There are also many other species found here: grayling, residential mikizha and kunja, Kamchatka salmon (a passing type of mikizha). In the lower reaches of the river, from the end of July to the beginning of September, there is a mass migration of passing char. 

The Bolshaya River is a great place for fishing. If you plan to catch the largest Pacific salmon – chinook salmon – then you need to go to the Bolshaya River, but in a certain period.
