Manager's Comments: 
The river has risen 25cm in two days, as you know a 25cm rise on the Yokanga is rather a lot of water. It has coloured up a little bit but nothing too dramatic and is still very fishable, in fact it feels almost perfect.

However we did find the numbers of fish caught today dropped off slightly. Who knows whether this was to do with the rise in water or the colour in the river, but we will stick at it and I'm sure we will catch up with them at some point.

Well done to Jenni J who finished her week of nicely in Lyliok with three fish all in exactly the same place within 20 minutes of each other. All three fish were very fresh and within half a pound pf each other (6-7lbs). A good result and a nice way to end the week, well done!

Both salmon caught by the father/son combo, Christian and Henrik J. One of 12lbs caught in Lower Norway camp and the other in Poachers pool. Henrik promises me that he did have his rod in hand when the fish took this time.

Well done to the team, a good end to a good week!
