Manager's comments: Keen observers of the blog will notice that the water level is up 10cm today but the great news is that the water temperature is also up to a relatively tropical 7C.

Collectively people reported seeing more fish rolling and certainly there was generally more action all round.

In the morning session Soren ‘Backwheeler’ S landed two fish from Lake, a 14lber and 12lber. Fishing partner Frank ‘Running Angel’ L landed a chunky 22.5lb hen osanka also from Lake. With the wifi connection in the lodge, half the fishing community in Denmark may well have heard the news!

Our Russian guests had a good day with Vladimir V who had an 11lber and also Igo T who landed a nice 20lber from Lyliok shortly before 6pm. Mark E continued his success with a 13.5lb fish from Lake and Jerome M scored with a 14lber from Beach.
 

Bryan S had a red letter day. Having landed a 13lb osanka he unfortunately lost a fresh silver fish at the net in the Home Pool shortly before lunch having just seen a couple of jumping fish. He then went on to land a good 17.5lber in the late afternoon. I believe that Bryan managed a Yokanga first today. He landed a fresh fish, an osanka, a kelt, a sea trout, a brown trout and a pike all on fly. A Super Duper Grand Slam possibly?

The mood was high in the lodge at dinner with a feeling that this upwards creep in water temperature may see more results in the latter half of the week.
