Weather: A remarkably cold week for mid July. Mostly overcast with occasional rain preventing the river levels from dropping.
Manager's comments: What an outstanding week. While known for big salmon, many people forget that Yokanga has good runs of grilse and smaller salmon all through July and even into early August. This is unusual for the rivers on the north coast.
First time salmon fisher, Rudi Navratil, took the best fish of the week, a sea liced 33lber from Cliff.
The week averaged 22 fish per rod. There are not many places to do that and know with certainty that you are fishing over salmon of 20lbs and 30lbs on a daily basis!
Welcome to the Roxtons Yokanga blog. From early June to August we will post a mid-week blog on a Wednesday and a weekly update on a Sunday to keep you updated on fishing conditions and news from this amazing salmon fishery. We hope you enjoy the blog and look forward to seeing you on the Yokanga.

COMMENTS: While it has warmed up a bit on Yokanga, the weather is remaining relatively cool which is helpful for the fishing. The day produced some rain showers but we do expect to see the river to move much. A light breeze meant generally good fishing conditions but no large fish were landed today after yesterdays sea liced 33lber.

WEATHER: Everything from bright
sunshine and nearly cloudless skies to rain and hail. The only constant was the
NW wind.
COMMENTS: It is generally accepted
that numbers are down on all Kola rivers this year, but with a week of 160 to
16 rods the fishing is still pretty steady. There has been the odd quiet
session for some rods here and there, but then balanced out by a few bumper
outings - such is the nature of fishing. Offered a week of fishing where you
catch 10 fish per rod, with at least one twenty and 60% of fish are salmon over
8lbs - I’d take that any time! The wind blew upstream pretty well all week, and
at times was quite ferocious, but this did not deter the stalwart team of
guests for most of whom this was not their first rodeo. If the water could have
been covered more effectively on some days, perhaps the weeks total may have
been greater? What certainly was a feature of the week was the daily story of
huge fish lost. Early season is traditionally the best time to catch a really
big fish, but the numbers of encounters over this last fortnight suggest there
is a very real chance throughout the seven week season.
Lodge life was a lively affair with several
comics and the Irish love of story telling and the craic. Great company both on
an off the water.

WEATHER: Overcast, brightening

COMMENTS: Every beat produced fish,
but seemingly thin pickings with about one fish to each rod. However, Lower
Norcamp was a different story with Eric W and Rod H-J landing five between them
(best 18lbs) and lost two fish; one in the twenties and the other described and
bigger than the combined weight of everything they landed!! After a classic big
fish take “I thought it was stuck on a rock, then it moved” the unseen fish
steadily made its way up into the pool and kept on going for 150 yards
apparently totally unperturbed by Eric leaning into him. Having explored the
majority of the pool the fish headed back to the tail and the rapids below
where he came unstuck. Un-sighted we shall never know what it was, but Eric
will remember this fish for some time yet! Elsewhere on the river Ross V landed
his biggest of the week at 23lbs near Boris’s Rock and brothers Martin and
Jerome M tucked into an on form Crow’s Nest landing five with a couple of
twenties to note.

COMMENTS: Seemingly no rhyme nor reason to salmon behaviour - Bright sunshine today and some beats fished well under these conditions while some waited for the afternoons cloud cover before showing fish. Rob W and Stephen L had 6 fish from Crow’s Nest between 4pm and 6pm, Mike B landed his PB of 21lbs at Seven Islands (well done Mike!), Pat M produced 3 from Lower Norcamp and Ian E continues to pick up fish where others have no joy including one landed and one lost on a bomber! It’s amazing how fish will move with meaning to the surface even in relatively low temperatures.

Manager’s Comments: Almost perfect salmon
fishing weather today – it felt like a lovely July day! With the river dropping the fishers left the
lodge in great spirits and expecting good action. Sean M landed a nice 14lb hen
first cast from the first of the 7 Islands and brought to an end a tough couple
of days for him with another fish that tore off downstream causing his reel to
“bird’s nest” – thankfully the fish stopped and a 10lb hen was landed!
Elsewhere on the river Ian E landed 3 fish of 14, 15 and 24lbs from Crows Nest
(what a lovely beat in July!) Stephen L and Rob W landed 6 between them and
lost several others. It was clear that in the higher water and rough weather
fish had moved about quite a bit and some previously productive beats proved
hard going whilst others served up nice surprises for hard working
fishers. Not feeling the day was quite
done, Ian E headed down to Pump after dinner and hooked into a huge
cartwheeling fish that was eventually landed at Heron Point - many of you will
know just how far downstream that is – that weighed in at just over 30lbs – the
first real Yokanga monster of the week…….although the previous 4 days have
yielded 17 fish between 20-29lbs – not exactly minnows! What a fantastic end to
the day!

Manager’s Comments: Fractionally improved weather improved the fishing markedly, although as ever some beats were more productive than others. Geoff B landed 7 for the day to 20lbs and Stephen L and Rob H-J both had cracking fish nudging close to that magic 30lb mark. Edwin O lost a very large fish on a floating and small double fly and we all felt that the big fish are still very much in the game – which keeps everyone on their toes! Encouraging numbers of fresh summer 2SW salmon in the mid teens are pulsing through the beats and taking well when covered and the grilse run joining them is building also. Fingers crossed for the weather to continue to improve.

If fishers could find a sheltered corner then fishing was good and there were plenty of fish to target. Rob W has three fish of 17, 24 and another PB of 26lbs from Lower Norcamp, and Stephen L had a brace of fish of 10 and 20lbs from the same beat. 2 big fish were lost by Pat and Jerome and most fish that were landed were targeted using sink 3 tips and Willie Gunn or Cascade type patterns. If it wasn’t for the weather we feel like the tally would already be very impressive for the first days of this week!

Manager’s Comments: An enthusiastic group
of largely Yokanga regulars hit the river on the first evening, from Boulder
Alley down to Lyliok, and were well rewarded with 8 fish including a lovely
21lb fish for Martin M above Pump. Sunday proved testing with a very cold, very
strong wind chilling everyone to the core, however fish were picked up and
everyone had a bend in their rod at points during the day. Rob W braved the
cold evening to pick up a PB of 24lbs from Lyliok and lost another couple of
good fish – “fortune favours the brave!”

Weather: Temperatures have remained remarkably cool but stable for the majority of the week. There has been some sunny weather but cool air temperatures have meant that the water temperature has been pretty constant giving generally good fishing conditions.
Manager's comments: It is proving a tougher year than normal on the Kola Peninsula as a whole (Norway and Canada as well) and this week was no different. The rewards are there though for those that persevere.
There were only nine grilse and plenty of the salmon landed were in the high teens so everyone got to see there backing during the course of the week!
There are not many places in the world that you have a genuine chance of encountering a big fish. Seven fish fell in the 20-29lb bracket and the most noteable fish of the week was caught by Alain V, an exceptional 34lber. Well done Alain!
There were at least a handful of other encounters with salmon of a similar size this week. They came unstuck for a variety of reasons such as heading into a rapid but the majority were lost for no real reason, often when the fight was nearly won and when the fish was clearly seen. These things often go in waves of good or bad luck so let's hope that guests in the coming weeks have luck on their side.
All in all it was a relaxed but fun week with representation from the UK, Australia, France, Spain and Iceland. Hope to see you all again next year, same time, same place!

Alan M also lost one after 15 mins at the hourglass at Crows Nest. On a positive note we saw a few grilse caught and Alan landed fresh sea-liced fish of 17lbs and 19lbs at Crows Nest.

I expect the water will quickly drop back to where it was. Either way, it seems to have put the fish off a bit today or perhaps it was the extreme sunny conditions we experienced. Many beats were blank today after three quite good days given the season the whole of the Kola is having. Arni B lost a big fish up at Sand Island which disappeared into the rapid where he played it for a while before the hook came out. He still landed a nice 20lber and 19lber from Sand Island and Cliff. Here is hoping that we don't need the suncream for the rest of the week!
