Manager's comments: An amazing start really. There are clearly plenty of fish here already and a good number of pods of Salmon pushing through each hour. Lyliok has been very productive, especially left bank as it's more sheltered. Chris Ballard landed one of the fattest fish we have ever recorded - by length it would have seemed more like 30lbs but weighed in at 37lbs. Nearly all fish are sea liced. With better weather we will really see what is in the river.
