With Lower now closed it falls to me to continue the blog
from Kitza camp. Last week was a very interesting one with some pretty good
days fishing considering the river was rising fast. This morning we have eager fishermen (and
women) in our remaining three camps.

| Lovely fish from Middle |
I’m quite confident for this week’s fishing here at Kitza and hopeful that the Pana will really
start to receive the fish they deserve. It’s tough for clients, guides and
staff when fishing is slow and I think we all now need a reward.

| Kitza and Pana teams inbound |
Yesterday was change over day which went smoothly and pretty
swiftly. We stopped into Pana first to drop off the regular team and supplies.

| All out on Kitza Heli pool last night |
It was good to see Matt and Beanie again and all the Russian
staff. We collected Jack M and headed to
Kitza where we found the river had dropped out by 2 inches in less than 12
hours. Heli pool produced one fish for
Michael G before supper. Over at Middle they had 10 fish last night and there
was rumour of two before breakfast also.

| Pana Silver in the air |
Today I’m heading out on the river to give Ian W some
pointers on the art of spey casting and a trial with the Bill Drury Salmon
outfit. It’s a great kit and the addition of a heavy tip has been invaluable
this season with such big water.
I’m looking forward to typing this tomorrow with some really
improved catches from all the camps.
