Comments: we did have a small rise in water after all, and without doubt some new large fish came into the river. Some beats did not produce fish today but others offered quite a lot of action, albeit not many entries to the book. Jonathan and Berdt hooked 9 fish between the on Norcamp, landing 1 each, Marc Philippe and Michael also saw a number of fish in the hourglass of crows nest and the main draw, hooking 7 and landing 1 each. Possibly the sun was the reason for slightly short takes? The fish that arrived in the evening were of the highest possible quality, with ridiculous proportions (girths of 55 - 60% of length.) Andrew had a 27lb fish from just above Heron Point only to be trumped by Olivier who landed a 29lb stunner from Pots. Jack also had another epic battle in Poachers which ended with the fly coming out after several hundred yards of chasing down rapids. 50% today of 20lbs or over.
Last day tomorrow, let's hope for a strong finish to the week.
