Manager's Comments:
A fine start for the guests on Saturday evening, Henrik J took two fresh fish from Lyliok and Mike B also had a nice fresh 18lber on the opposite bank, and he lost another of similar proportions. A fish on the Saturday evening after a long day of travel is always a bonus but never a guaranteed. However, it is very nice to be down on the river to get a taste of water levels, temperature and blow out any old cobwebs to get back in the swing things. But well done to Mike and Henrik for kicking the week off with a few good fish.
Today was another slightly colder day in comparison to the previous week, a good grey day with the odd break in cloud allowing the sun to pop out every now and then. We had some more rain showers that were really drenching and have actually made the water temp drop a degree which is fantastic news. Jenni J had a fantastic day down in Crows Nest hooking six fish and landing three of them.
I am told it was an action-packed afternoon. A good start to her week, let's hope it continues. Rob W managed three grilse out of Poachers providing him with a good bit of excitement for the day. His fishing partner Steven L had a nice fresh 14lber opposite him to round their day off with four fish.
So a good start to the week, we are forecast more of the shame weather, which is great news. Plenty of fish have been seen in the last 24hrs so let's hope this change in temperature brings them on and we can start getting stuck into them.
