Floating and internediate tips started working better; we had a lot of raises stripping tubes on the surface. The biggest fish was 17lbs and others from 10 to 14lbs. 

Leaders: 7 to 12 feet, 12 to 15lbs.

The most successful way of catching sea trout this week was dead drifting nymphs and in the dirty water stripping tubes with sinking lines. Most of the fish landed were in the lower and middle parts of the river, the upper part is very low with not too mnay fish.
