Manager’s Comments:

It was considerably better fishing conditions today, although the cooler north wind meant at least an extra clothing layer had to be worn.

Jim C fishing Upper Norcamp
The fishing was steady over all the beats and there were a good number of larger fish encountered but not all landed! Rob T was fishing on his own in lower Norcamp when he hooked, landed, measured and photographed and returned a 32lb fish, well done Rob.

32lber for Rob T
There are a good few pods of grilse on the move each day and when they appear in the pools double hook ups are common.

Five salmon between 20-29lbs plus another over 30lbs is a fantastic day by any standard. The weather is cloudy and cool again on this the last morning of the week, so we are hopeful of another good day ahead.
