Yesterday was a good day here at Kitza. Some of the party
headed out with the expectation of a bonanza after it was clear there were
numbers of Grilse running in. Interestingly we once again mainly caught bigger
fish in the 6-8lbs class. Paul R still heads the leader board with another 6
fish for his account. What seems staggering is the quality of these fresh
bright fish and the fight they offer is way above their pay grade.

Over at Middle they had rain in the morning whilst we were
bathed in sun. However the afternoon brightened and they then caught more fish.
They landed 27 for the day with 11 fish to Craig C. Many of the rods took to
the water at midnight to celebrate summer solstice and enjoy the “sunset”.

Pana had a slightly tougher day on the back of the rising
river landing 22 fish. Of these 11 were landed by George S. The D of M managed
his first fish of the week at midnight last night. Let’s hope it will spur him
on to fish hard for the last two days.

Today we were forecast great rains. This information was
gleaned from the internet and as we know the internet never lies. Paul R and
Gordon B made a pact last night to go out at 5:30 if it was not raining. Paul R
admitted at breakfast that he was secretly a bit disappointed to find it clear
and quite mild. We can let him off as he is doing 2 weeks and needs to pace
himself.

The mild, clear morning is only a little hampered by a stiff
breeze but I have little doubt on the fast dropping river we have there will be
some good success on the river today.
