Comments: it was very interesting to hear of Andrew landing a long-tailed sea-liced 21lb hen fish at Seven Islands which goes to show the sheer distance that can be covered in two days by a salmon. Stanislav also landed a stunning 21lb fish from Upper Norcamp.

There is no doubt that the quality and size of the fish so far is exceptionally good. Three fish over 28lbs today for example. However the number of fish in the river so far is still light. Chris had a lazy but productive day, sleeping until lunch then wandering down to Home pool and landing a 29lb and a 28lb fish on a Collie Dog! Sam landed a wonderful 29lb fresh salmon from Cliff - beating his 27lber earlier in the week.

 

Last day of the week tomorrow so we look forward to a strong finish for our fishers who have fished so hard this week.
