Yesterday when we got up for the helicopter there was not a
breath of wind and not a cloud in the sky. A total reversal from the day
before. The mosquitoes were out and about and the river was gently dropping.
After Friday’s heavy up stream gales and over cast skies we now have a hot
still blue sky day. The air temperature is up to 19 degrees already and the
water up to 14 degrees. Almost everyone has opted for tiny flies, long leaders
and full floating lines.

Friday at middle produced 7 fish with Brendon G getting 2
fish from Generator and 1 from Pasha’s. Karen C caught a lovely fish from
Simmon’s. We totalled 84 for the week in cold and windy conditions. Kitza ended
on 131 fish with 16 on Friday. Bryan P catching 3, 2 from Long Pool. Alan had 2
with one from Green Glide and one at beaver Pit. Paul B had 2 from Gold Mine.
Richard G had 2 from Green Bank (very apt) and Josh C had 5 for the day with 2
at Chopper Island. Pana had a further 8 fish on Friday making 64 total for the
week.

There was a fairly relaxed approach to fishing round the island
last night with much red wine drunk by many rather than fishing generator. That
said Jim S and Alan E had one each and Jon P had a fish from Bear and another offer.
All three fish were fresh grilse and taken on small flies. George S had a fish
up at Pana and so far no word from last night’s action on Kitza but it sounds
like Ollie got stuck into a few in the morning.
