Weather: Really cold and bitter wind in the morning, plenty of snow and hail flurries, small spells of sun in the afternoon and wind dropping in the evening after dinner.
Manager's comments: Another really interesting day – pods of fish in various beats, although some beats really tough to fish in the morning due to the wind. Michael and Anders hooked 7 and landed 4 on Golden Reach, nothing was landed on Norcamp. As the weather slightly improved during dinner, Dean and Jon went down to Lyliok for an hour and a half and landed 3 fish for a total weight of 86lbs! Dean landing his personal best salmon – a stunning 44”x22” cock fish of 34lbs (left bank), and Jon Thor a very deep and handsome 32lb cock fish (right bank), having landed a 20lb cock fish a few casts earlier. A really nice finish to a day that also saw Dan land 3 fish to 20lbs. The meals are proving very good with our new chef Yury being coached for the next weeks by Icelandic chef Andri (of Sela River Lodge.)
