Weather: It was possibly even worse
weather than the day before. A very strong upstream wind but fortunately less
rain.
Where did the sun go?
Manager's comments: It was an impossibly
tough day on the river but guests remained stoic and kept at it all day.
Spencer P was rewarded with a fresh 15lber from Pump. The very same place he had
a fish on the first day.
Pilots in team Yokanga caps
Other pairs reported little other
action other than a good number of kelts which are migrating downstream. It was
a disappointing finish to what has been an exceptionally hard week by Yokanga
standards. We are hearing similar news from other rivers too as a result of the
impossibly late spring.
'Green' the camp dog
There was better news from the Gremikha camp which fishes
the lower Yokanga downstream. One pair of fishers had five fish in the morning,
all mint fresh that weighed 18lbs, 18lbs, 20lbs, 22lbs and 29lbs. These all
came from the same little pocket of 20 yards on Loopskaia.

The fish are clearly there and
coming so it is just a question of when they will arrive with us up at Yokanga
Lodge on the middle river.
