Default First Salmon of the Season on Fly!

On March 25th., the first salmon to be caught on the fly on the Blackwater Lodge Fishery this season was taken.


Bjornar Berg from Norway playing the first fly-caught salmon of the season.

The fish was unhooked & released without even being lifted from the water.

Egil Olsen lead a party of 3 Norwegians to Blackwater Lodge for their first ever visit.
They arrived for a 4 day stay at 2.00pm on Wednesday, March 25 - earlier than their planned arrival time of 10.00pm. T
hey were due to start fishing on the 26th.
With some of the day still left, we offered them free fishing for the afternoon, & they got to the beat at about 3.30pm.
Bjornar Berg had no more than about 15 casts & caught the fish on a 1" Willie Gunn tube fished on a hover tip shooting head line!
Being a very sporting angler, he duly returned the fish alive - not even lifting it out of the water to unhook it or to present the fish fully to the camera.
The fish was measured against his rod at 82cm or 32.3 inches which gives an estimated weight of approx. 14lb.
The party was back at the Lodge by 5.00pm to celebrate.


Prospects
With the river at 0.41m on the gauge, superb clarity and fish being seen all the way to the upper beats,
the prospects for the coming week are excellent, especially for fly-fishing.

Nice salmon. I wish they would open salmon season back here again. It is closed for who knows due to the suposed decline in them.

Default Those springers

We've now had 8 springers in the 10 days from March 25 to April 3.
A purple patch as far as spring salmon fishing is concerned.
