We had scorching sun all morning yesterday and then
things started to cloud over and the wind got up. With the wind came some
heavier clouds but none of us predicted rain showers. The fishing was
definitely better as the cloud came in.
We had 8 fish for the day with Rob L catching 2 from the
same spot. As ever Alan E and Jim S caught one each. Ian B had a nice fish at
Picnic. Philip W caught his first Russian salmon at Simmon’s.
Pana landed 10 fish for the team. George S had 2 fish as
did Alexander M. Willie G had 3 fish for the day and 1 each for David H,
Charles M and Peter P. Much more important to Pana were the football results!
Kitza have yet to confirm but it sounded like they were
on 10 before supper with Paul R having the bulk of the sport again.
Here at middle there was much debate regarding the name
of the little blue and yellow flowers that are growing everywhere between the
cabins and Generator. James S went with Forget Me Not but Daniel B was having
none of it. A photo was quickly dispatched to Mrs Anne for confirmation and
James S was declared the winner!
This morning the sun broke through briefly but the cloud
cover seems to be rolling back in. The forecast was showers but I fear they
actually arrived last night so we will see what materialises today. The water
temperature is 16 degrees and the river only dropped 1.5”. Jon P had 2 fresh
grilse from Bear before breakfast which has spurred everyone on. Well almost
everyone.
