Another steady day today, very bright and very little wind. The team have been pulling out all the stops to try and get stuck into some fish. Piam even tried the upstream Red Francis this morning, which actually resulted in a lovely 17 pound fish. Nothing venture nothing gain… Well done Piam.

Again black seems to be the colour of choice today, Yann fished through Lyliok three times from the right bank, first time with a little black stoats tail, he had one and a fair few pulls. The second time he fished it through with a cascade. Nothing at all, not even a sight nudge. Third time through he put slightly bigger black & gold fly on, lots of pulls and lost a fish. Perhaps this is coincidence, or the fish in fact only want a black flies.

Cedomir had an eventual morning in Upper Norcamp. First thing after arriving he was straight into a nice 10 pound fish. Moments later he hooked into a monster fish. Estimated by guide and angler to have been 15kgs or more. Cedomir had the fish in close a couple of times. Sadly the second time he got it in close, it saw the guide/Cedomir and pealed off down stream on its tail. A magnificent sight to see a fish of that calibre tail walking down the pool. Sadly in the process of its second tail walk the fly popped out and the fish was gone. A sad moment for Cedomir, but an exciting bit of action never the less.
The river is starting to drop off fast now with all this bright sun, I assume it will do so for the rest of the season. Hopefully this will channel the fish a little more and allow us to really get stuck in.
