The 2018 season has seen the Yokanga perform at its very best. The spring melt arrived at exactly the normal time and with snow levels within normal parameters, the season panned out precisely as it should.

2018 will not go down as one of our more stellar years but finding reasons as to why that should be the case may be harder than it looks, although being fishermen, it will not stop us trying!

The Yokanga is off to a fantastic start, with the biggest fish caught so far weighing in at 36.5lbs...

We have had a fantastic opening opening week...

Just a short update to my report from last week on the Umba...

Call me fickle but I have found a new favourite river and it's also knocked my favourite river on the Kola peninsula off the top spot too.

After a difficult two weeks, the season on the Umba is now really beginning to pick up.  It is very hard to know if this delay is because of unusually high water, an extraordinary and unexplained influx of pinks or simply that the whole of the Kola appears to be running later than normal – or a combination of all three?

Stop Press! 6 fish landed on the Umba today and all Atlantics too.
