We can say it was a typical week at the start of the season.
There was plenty of fresh fish activity in most of the pools.
The river is in excellent condition for fishing, and although we had some heavy rain during the week, its structure, colour, and level remained intact.
The main feature of the week was the increase in the number of catches, as well as their sizes.
