during the afternoon.
Summer temperatures at last
Manager's comments: The new team
arrived in reasonable time on the Saturday afternoon and about half went out
for a short while in the evening to try their luck. There was nothing landed
but those walking to Beach and Lake were rewarded by the extremely close sighting
of a cock willow grouse still mostly in winter plumage.

On Sunday we woke up to a stunning blue
sky day that remained throughout. Bryan S landed an absolutely beautiful 22lber
bar of silver from Lake and also took an 11lb osanka. Vladimir V had a fresh
12lber from the top of Home Pool and Igor T had a 16lb osanka to finish the
days tally with a total of 4.

Frank L had a rewarding day but not
in the way he was hoping for. Now that the river has dropped and is out of the
bushes he found three snaeldas at Poachers that weeks guests had lost. If this continues he will be
opening the second Yokanga tackle shop soon.
Transport to the river
The river has changed dramatically
since we arrived with the first guests on 17 June and is now much more
recognisable. The fishable water has increased a lot and there are now plenty
of plenty of places where salmon could rest. Lyliok is really beginning to take shape and is fishing well from the right bank and will certainly hold resting fish when they come.

The river continues to drop 10cm a
day and we hope that the warmer weather predicted for this week may bring the
water temperature up a bit without melting too much snow and bringing the
level up again.
