Stewart S was one of the lead performers and took 10 from
Party Pool but at dinner we all bemoaned the absence of his long term fishing
partner who has had to miss this season due to long term family commitments –
Keith, we need you back!

It normally takes 45 minutes to get to Middle from here but
last night it took an hour and a quarter as the strength of the water made it
difficult to make any speedy progress.
Needless to say, my return journey downstream was made in record time.
At lunchtime yesterday we had only had a couple of fish
between us at Lower and it was hard work but the afternoon saw the river fine
down a fair bit and the afternoon session was much better. Ken B and Mark E found the right formula on
Jannaways and landed 7 of the 12 fish they hooked. Craig P’s customary diligence paid off and he
landed 6 from Green Bank in the afternoon.
Spurred on by his success he rose at 3.30 this morning and has landed 5
fish before his long awaited breakfast. |
| Peter W yesterday |
The river is huge but it is clearing and this morning bodes
well for the final day for these rods here before we take them to Kitza this
evening.
At Kitza the river is still rising and the banks are being
scoured quite hard so it is tough for the fish to see the fly even when you can
hold in the right zone. After their difficult
first day they had quite a major party in the evening and only 3 or 4 of them
went fishing for an hour or so yesterday before calling it day. Tom assessed the situation and decided that a
big lunch down at the White Sea would be a better way of clearing the heads
which was a huge success although how clear the heads were at the end of it is
open to debate. |
