Managers Comments:
A very mixed day on the river, fish were very spread and absolutely no obvious pattern to the catches.

Alan had another great day, taking 4 fish out of Upper Norcamp, one of which was a fantastic moment when both, Alan and George had a hook up, I think Vova was slightly confused and was not sure who's fish to go for first!
James B had a couple of good fish in the Poachers stretch, 15lbs & 21lbs, both very fresh fish in fact his 21lb fish was extremely fresh but an unusual shape for Yokanga, an extremely long fish, the length of a 25/26lbs fish, just rather skinny. Perhaps a second spawner.

Water has heated up exceptionally quickly in the last few days, bringing us right up to the top with our flies, basically all floating lines with, perhaps the odd intermediate tip. The snow has almost disappeared all together, some small patches left still, which is incurable given the number of days we have had over 25’C.

Good signs of fish moving through still. Gremihka had a good week, with one fisher having had an exceptional week and only a few grilse among them. Clearly there are quite a few still getting hung up down there for whatever reason, I'm sure they'll begin to trickle on up to us in the next few days as the river drops off.
