Weather: Strong and very cold north/northeast wind and persistent drizzle. Wind dropped a little toward the end of the day.
Comments: A really cold, wet and windy day but some lovely fish being landed such as Jonathan's 104cm 29lber from Island and Jacques' 28lber from 7 Islands (2nd island river right channel below chute).
Philippe landed a hard fighting PB of 21lbs and Paul landed three very fresh fish fish, one liced. Very few fish showed on any beat during the day, likely due to the air being so much colder than the water. However two large pods of fish came through Lyliok around 8pm and 10pm respectively, Jack landing three of the later group weighing in at 10lbs, 22lbs and 23lbs.
At the end of this wet and very cold day we have the impression the river may be rising a little, we will know in the morning.
