A tough week on the river this week with very varied conditions. We did get of to a tough start with the unusually long lasting fog which meant we had an out of action helicopter for 3 days. This was incredibly unlucky and exceptionally unusual to have the fog sitting for that length of time. As a result of this it meant we had all rods fishing between Poachers and crows nest. This is still a huge amount of water for 16 rods and plenty of pots & pools to play with. It did mean however, we struggled to hide from the killer stream wind we had for the first half of the week.

On Wednesday morning the weather took a complete turn and changed to its polar opposite, bright skies and hot days. Perhaps not the most ideal conditions but at least it allowed us up the river. The team persevered and came home with results. Piam had a fantastic week landing a good number of fish one at 25lb. Pierre T also had a tremendous week, landing a couple a great fish over 20lbs.
