I’m off to Murmansk first thing today as we change over teams on Saturday – so here is a quick round up of yesterday’s news.

| Tim P hooked up in Simmonds |
A really bright day yesterday with the air temperature up to 25⁰C; to make things more tricky there was a strong, albeit warm, upstream wind that made elegant, long casts somewhat rare. Compounding the issue was a river that continued to rise. I was sure yesterday morning that it would level out but I was wrong, we recorded a rise here at Middle Camp of another 5”. Pana this evening reported that it had dropped off a touch with them, so I would hope that by the time the next team start fishing in earnest on Sunday morning it will have settled down here.

| Costa del Varzuga |
Even so we had a very productive and happy day landing 55 salmon, Dominique M being the only one to fish late in order to land a couple more fish to round off his week with 40 salmon to his rod.

| Ian S with his 100th salmon of the week |
Pana had a quieter time and the team up there had a pretty relaxed day and, in shortened hours, had around 70 fish. Tom at Kitza reported around 30 salmon landed. I’ll get the full news tomorrow evening and will do a roundup of this past week.

| Farewell from a wonderful group to have here at Middle Camp |
It looks pretty good to me for the next week, a good water height and plenty of fish running.
More news tomorrow when we have the new groups in camp.
