Weather:
Really
nasty northerly upstream wind in the morning and early afternoon, with the
first part of calmer weather during late afternoon. Still bitterly cold.
Manager’s Comments:
Another
decent day considering the challenging weather. The fish continue to take a bit
‘short’ with the cold water, meaning plenty of fishers are questioning their
fly pattern and size. Definitely the slightly smaller flies are still working
the best, however the larger Snaelda type patterns are catching a number of
fish also.
Markku
had a brace a good fish from Crow’s Nest, Stefffan landing one also. David also
scored well in Home/Lyliok. Sam and Andy both also had success at Lower
Norcamp.

Dan
C headed to Pots in the evening and had some really good sport with fresh fish
(including the 24lber mentioned), overwintered fish and kelts. Some sort of
salmon Macnab?
The
weather is forecast to be nice tomorrow. After the last 12 days we can’t quite
believe it is going to the case, but here’s hoping.

Camp: There was much excitement from
the lower Yokanga about two huge salmon landed by James and Ismo in the evening
in Pool 18. James had a superb fresh cock fish of 31lbs. Ismo's fish measured an enormous 112 x 68cm (44 x 26.5 inches). They weighed the salmon three times at 18kgs, 17.5kgs and 17kgs and it has gone in the book at the lowest weight which equates to 36.5lbs. The established formulae for calculating salmon weights by length and girth seem to suggest 40lbs+.
