Tackle Failures

Date: Afternoon 29 and 30 July

Air temp: 20C
Water height: -17cms
Water temp: 16C
Rods: 10
Fish caught: 9
Biggest fish: 15lbs
8-19lbs: 6
Grilse: 3

Weather : Overcast at first but a sunny and warm afternoon.

Managers Comments: Per, Hilli, Max and Paul all experienced the evil of those very large Yokanga fish today. Each of them encountered fish of 25lbs plus, cartwheeling around the pools of Upper Norcamp, Golden Reach and Lyliok.

Polyleaders snapped and hooks pulled out leaving the anglers speechless. Paul was heard saying that he had never felt such power in an Atlantic salmon before this day.
Max lost his beast in Lyliok after charging down the rapids but managed to land only one fish from six played.
Hilli with his 15lber from Lyliok

There seems to be perfect water height and temperature  but the fish are very quiet generally.
