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

Peter Rippin described the fish this season as ‘the best condition [he] has ever seen. Flawless, fat, broad fresh fish. The 12-16lbers are like bionic grilse – small heads, small wrist, hugely deep. The larger fish are just brutally thick set. If Carlsberg made salmon…’

We look forward to seeing what the remaining weeks bring!
