Manager's comments:
A very tough week indeed with weather and water temperatures certainly not in our favour. It is not often you put your waders on and go salmon fishing at 35’C, but hats off to the team who stuck at it all week and still managed to tick away with the odd one being caught every day - not an easy task by any means.
A special well done to Constantine H, Philip D and Leopold D who all managed to get their first ever atlantic salmon - a fantastic effort with a brilliant result in these harsh conditions! I hope it is the first of many to come and wish you the best of luck for your future days on the banks of salmon rivers. Another one to note is Simon Ringers best salmon to date, weighing in at 28lbs. A great fish to catch and a wonderful way to end a weeks fishing.
A quick mention to Colin J who was with us for two weeks on the Yokanga and caught 20 salmon, a good number of fish. Colin is a magician with a fly rod, never failing to put his name in the book. He had numerous fish 20lbs and over, a good handful in the high teens as well. His biggest at 26lbs and two 25lbers.
In summary, a very enjoyable week with a great fun group of guests. Sadly the weather once again was holding us back but it is something that is well and truly out of our control and we can only hope for a change in air soon.
