Managers Comments:
Finally we seemed to have lost the heavy sitting fog, we have in fact been left with quite the opposite. Today had a very Mediterranean feel to it, with plenty of beaming sun.

The fishing was hugely varied among the team. Pierre had a very good day, landing three fish in total from Poachers pool. One of his bigger fish was reasonably fresh - perhaps a small push of fish coming in. All of his three fish, and a couple of other pulls came from the same black fly (see photo above). Interestingly Gilles' fish last night where all on a similar, sun ray variant.

Piam also ended up with a good result today with three fish between 10 & 16lbs. His 16 pound fish was an incredibly well caught one. He was fishing through lower Norcamp when he had a slight pull, the second cast produced nothing. Piam then decided to change fly, again nothing… Three changes later he finally persuaded the fish to take on a small black tube. Perseverance is key and often pays off, well done Piam!

The river is slowly dropping off again after the quick rise earlier in the week, and we are getting back to normal July weather.
