Managers Comments:
An interesting day on the river, the morning brought us heavy fog, the helicopter was unable to fly. As a team, we decided to wait and see if it lifted, sadly it just came in thicker and thicker and we were unable to use the chopper at all. By midday we decided that it was time to sett off on foot. Sadly this meant we had lost the mornings fishing.

On the fishing front, we got off to a very good start Andy was in Lyliok and immediately hooked into a fish, landed a nice 12 pounder. Soon after he hooked three others but sadly not landing any. Sanjay also had a nice fish and connected with a few others.
Euan managed the fish of the day, a lovely 25 pounder from the pots below beach, left bank. He was part of the pair that hiked up to left bank beach to fish there way down. In a tiny pot below beach, Sergei the guide, said “maybe small grilse here”. A few casts into the pot the fish took. After a couple of big runs across the river it became very apparent that it was not a small grilse. Well done Euan for getting an awesome fish!

James B went out this morning in the hopes that he would carry on his amazing streak of 5 days, 5 20pounders. He headed up to boulder ally to try and complete his task of 6 in 6 days. James did land a couple of very nice fish but he was just short with a nice fish at 19lbs. However, I have full confidence that he will make up for it tomorrow.
