Yesterday we had roasting hot sun and hot water
temperatures. Millie finally had her swim in the river which gives an idea of
just how warm it was. At 4pm the river was at 18 degrees and dropped by 2
degrees by 8pm. This has certainly had a detrimental effect on the fishing with
only 4 fish caught during office hours and 4 caught in the early morning or
late into the night.

Kitza held up it’s run of good fishing by landing 15 yesterday. Paul R had 7, 3 from Red Cliffs, 2 from Beaver Pit, one from Tom’s and one from Green Bank. Jose M had 2, Sasha’s and Gold Mine. Francisco P had one from Gold Mine also. Antony B had 3 out of Sasha’s, Piddling and Gold Mine.

Up at Pana fortunes were slightly better with 12 fish
landed. George S got 3 up on the float trip, Charlie M got 2 from Rockface and
Ponzoi, Willie G had 2 from Pontoon and lost a fish estimated to be 20lbs.
Peter P and David H landed 2 each. Whilst the conditions did not effect Pana as
much the report was that there were not many takes or loses for the 12.

Today has started hot again but there is a breeze and the
forecast for tomorrow is cloud and Wednesday rain. As with any wilderness you
never really know what’s coming but the change from last week has been
staggering. Our water is at 14 degrees this morning and the air is 20 degrees.

There has been no sense of urgency from 2 of our guests
this week who seem to relish a late start as the sun really gets hot. This
seems to be contagious with 4 guests still having breakfast at 10:15. Let’s
hope those who have headed out early have done the business.
