Yokanga Lodge Manager's comments:
What a spectacular week! Everybody enjoyed varied and productive fishing and landed healthy, clean salmon.
Exceptional quality fish and good numbers of them meant some really impressive days for guests and whilst it would be wrong to single out any particular rods or fish, suffice to say that the number of salmon in the 20lb plus range that fought absurdly well, was staggering.
Food was great all week, and the house staff and guide teams have hit their rhythm for the season so we can look forward to seeing reports from the next weeks.
On a final note, the week’s catches ended as a record for “Week 1” and Friday night ended with a party worthy of a record week!!!

Gremikha Camp:
The team at Gremikha Camp had another week with fish running through the lower river at high speed. Notwithstanding they landed 68 salmon to the 8 rods and had hold of plenty of chrome fresh monsters, eventually landing 2 of over 30lbs. James and Ismo are fighting fit and ready for a second week and will no doubt “tune-in” the new fishers as they commence our final week of the 2016 Gremikha Camp season (for 2017 as the first three weeks get earlier, we will add a fourth week at Gremikha Camp which will be 24 June – 1 July 2017, so please let us know if you are interested in a hardcore physical week chasing big salmon!)
