Thankfully this morning we have some cloud cover as
yesterday was utterly scorching. The sun beat down and the wind blew. Both
boats headed up river to fish opposite banks.

Paul P and Sean M fished hard in the bright conditions to
lose a few and land 1. This added to Sean M’s fish first thing put him on 2
which was the total for the day. Paul R and Gordon B also reported a number of
lost fish but Gordon managed to land a pike.
Whilst wading opposite Gordon B, Sean M slipped in for a
dip and looking over to the far bank saw Gordon also having a swim. I never
encourage swimming here let alone synchronised. Luckily the sun soon had them
dry but not before the Mosquitoes had taken their fill.

Last night everyone headed out after dinner and Gordon
and I went down to Party to skate a sunray and a bomber. Sadly the only thing
interested was a grayling only marginally bigger than the bomber but it was a
beautiful night.

In Murmansk on Saturday I was told off (indirectly) by
Lucy as her mother had declared the blog to be “all about fishing”. With this
in mind I am going to aim to do a section on other topics each day this week.

There are an amazing variety of wild flowers here and as
the globeflower and forgetmenots go over we now have wild raspberry, violets
and crane’s bill starting to come in. Sadly we won’t see what comes next or the
beautiful colours of autumn that always splash the tundra with yellow, red and
browns.
