Weather: Heavy east wind blowing upstream in the morning getting extremely heavy (approx. 50mph) in the afternoon and causing waves on even the calmer areas of the river. Some sunny spells during the afternoon before clouding over in the evening when the wind died down a bit.
Manager's comments:Really tough day for fishing, incredibly difficult to cast in some areas. "Hats off" to the fishers who persevered, the group on Lyliok rewarded themselves after a nice 21lb fish with a long bbq lunch of Salmon cooked over an open fire in the shades of the birch trees. Michael F had a particularly unusual experience on upper norcamp when a salmon attacked his joint between mainline and tip, becoming wrapped momentarily in the line. A few seconds after freeing itself Michael cast to the flat area where the comossion had just happened and a very aggressive 16lbs hen fish grabbed the Snaelda and took off.
