The fourth film in the series of short films about the Ponoi made by Alan Maughan is now available to view here.
In this film the owner of Ponoi River Company for the past five years, Ilya Sherbovich, describes how he fell in love with the Ponoi, how much he values its traditions and yet enjoys taking it forward, especally in the areas of conservation and river protection.
The other films can be viewed here as well.

It was a struggle to get news out from Ryabaga Camp last week because the internet was suffering. But, towards the end of the week, it was working much better and the promise of internet is now fulfilled.
Alan Maughan and I were there to build on the success of the film made at Ryabaga last year. Being in Nick’s shoes was interesting because it is only when one begins to focus on the details that one actually realises how much there is to the camp, the fishing and facilities. It was our mission to film ‘the meat on the bone’; to represent the detail of what was so beautifully covered last year.
