Every year at a certain point we start to compare the fishing to previous years and as I sit here while people finish their drinks in the lodge I decided to look 10 years back and make an comparison about number of salmon caught from the 14th of July.  Like always the results are surprising... or are they!!  At least this year is the second best from 2003 so we keep our hopes high and wish this continues like that.  Below is a table with the comparison and the total of salmon caught each year.

Date and year	Salmon caught	Annual total
14/7 2013	150
14/7 2012	76	320
14/7 2011	93	728
14/7 2010	196	1223
14/7 2009	91	1398
14/7 2008	111	1111
14/7 2007	50	786
14/7 2006	92	936
14/7 2005	90	1101
14/7 2004	75	778
14/7 2003	50	496

 

This is how it looks like and the funny thing about this table is that there is no pattern in number of salmon caught at a specific time and the total salmon caught each year.  For that is many factors but I dont what to go in details about that for now.

But lets look at some fishing news and we are happy to say that salmons are caught all over the river and few big ones have been landed and only 2 days ago a 105 cm salmon was caught. 

We will try to post more news but you can always follow our fishing by looking at the fishing reports.  We also post new pictures on the 2013 fishing photo gallery on the page.
