Managers Comments:
A very grey day on the kola today, we had an extremely mixed day on the river. Each rod did have action, but some doing considerably more than others.

The hero of the day today was Martin, he landed 6 fish through out the day, two of which where over 20 pounds. An excellent result. Well done Martin. His hard work throughout the week certainly payed off. A six fish day is epic by any standards, never mind the quality of fish he was catching.
Eddie W also managed to finish his week off on a high, he was fishing in poachers and managed two lovely fish of 18 & 14lbs, D’Arcy also managed a good fish of 12 pounds. A great day for the Wyvill bros.

Sam, who has done incredibly well this week, managed yet another big fish of 25lbs. Sanjay who was on his first every salmon fishing trip has done exceptionally well this week and again finished off well with a wonderful 20 pounder, an excellent introduction to salmon fishing and I hope this is the start of many to come.

The general consensus today; successful fishing came through heavy lines and fast moving flies. The majority of the fish caught were all on the strip or square casts with a down stream mend.
