David M who is roughly 10 feet tall so this fish must be pushing 30lbs.... |
We saw forked lightening over the White Sea
but fortunately it never got any closer.
Instead, at about 3pm the storm finally broke and it poured with rain
until about midnight - all 4 camp managers reported a slow morning followed by a much
more productive afternoon.

At Pana the 7 rods had 37 fish for the day and Matt reported
a very contented team who are enjoying the utter solitude that Pana
offers. With just 4 weeks in our season
up there, the chance to fish Pana is quite rare and this team are loving every
moment.
Middle Varzuga finished with 82 to the team but quite a few
rods took either the morning or the afternoon off. They have been fishing long sessions and it
seems to have finally caught up with a few.

At Lower, our fantastic team of 6 put 18 fish in the
book. There were very few fish caught in
the morning so it was good to get them all into some in the afternoon. The switch from the intimate Kitza to the
much larger Varzuga has caught a few of them out and Bill was busy dispensing advice
on the river.

Kitza marches on unperturbed by weather, water height or
temperature. A further 72 were landed
yesterday with our Norwegian team of Jo and Henning having a superb session on
2nd Island in the afternoon.
They lost count of the number of fish they hooked and played by but the
guide confirmed that they had landed 19 between them.

It has dawned very bright this morning with a cold wind
which is much more as we are used to so we hope for a return to the norm – if
there is such a thing up here!
