Managers Comments:
Every day now we are picking up the scores, as more and more fresh fish pile in. The spring is finally here! It's taken a record amount of time to arrive, but finally now all the flowers are out, the trees are green and the birds are here. We caught our last kelt on Saturday and hopefully that was the end of them. Very bizarre to be catching kelts in July, however it was just another sign of how incredibly late everything is. In hindsight, the salmon were right on time, they arrived in numbers just as the kelts disappeared.

Today was another good day on the river, the bright sunshine and blistering hot sun didn't give me the highest of hopes first thing this morning. But I was very wrong, every team had plenty of action, a lot of fish hooked.

George had a fantastic day in Lyliok, hooked 8 fish landed 4 of them, all between 16 and 25lbs. He also lost one out the rapids reporting that his reel burnt out! He said it smelt like a car clutch going, nothing he could do to stop the fish. His partner Alan had a lovely fish of 17lbs out the top of Lyliok pool as well.

Leo had a very exciting afternoon, hooking into plenty of fish and having numerous pulls but sadly didn't mange to land one, James his fishing partner, also had the same problem, but did mange to get two to the bank in the end.
