Manager's comments: A very tough day on the river. The Yokanga looks stunning in Arctic Circle sunshine but the sporadic pods of fish are tough to catch under the conditions. After dinner Pete W was rewarded with a 14lb and 15lb fish (both with sea lice) from Lyliok left bank. With the river still bathed in sunshine after dinner, many of the party chose to enjoy some Russian beverages and rest the river for tomorrow!
