Weather: breeze with stronger gusts, a little chilly in the upper river in the morning.

Comments: A really lean final day in terms of numbers. A fair few fish lost and touched but only four to the bank. However of those four, three were over 29lbs including 2 fish of just over 30lbs for father and son Eric and Edward.




Fishing Poachers beat, Edward was first to score in the main delta at the top of the beat, landing an extremely fat super fresh hen fish, and father Eric, not to be outdone, hooked an almost identical fish in the tail of lake which he landed 300m downstream in Boulder Alley. A great end to the week with our first two fish of over 30lbs!
