Fishing report 05 - 12 JULY 2019

The Beloushiha and Voronya rivers met guests from Japan for the second year in a row: Keisuke, Yutaro, Kenji and Hiroshi here for the second time. They were joined by Kato and Kuhawara. A guest from Spain, Inigo, also spent a week with us.

The weather was unusual for July. All week the wind blew from the north, several days there were heavy rains. Average air temperature is 7 degrees. Very contrasting weather for fisherman from Japan compared to last summer.

The water in the Belousiha River is medium, the temperature is 9 - 11 degrees. Voronya did not warm up above 7. The level is mostly average, sometimes falling to low.

At the beginning of the week everyone already had at least one caught fish on Belousiha. Salmon took the flies actively. There are already lots of grilse.

After two successful days on Belousiha, the Japanese completely switched to Voronya, despite cold water and hard fishing, they continued their mission - testing new lines of their own production and catching trophy salmon. Fish did not always show itself with, so it was necessary to find it by only fishing. High-quality fishing was very hampered by winds, which were blowing wrong. Even heavy lines on 16 foot rods didn 't always do their job. As a result, it was possible to land no more than 2 salmon a day this week.

Inigo on Beloushiha successfully caught and lost fish for 4 days. As a result, 7 out of 15 attempts were realized. Three Steps, Two Stones, Swedish Table and Second Glinka showed themselves well on the small river. A lot of pinks appeared in the lower part of the river, it spread through its usual locations and circles from 50 to 200 pieces. The most common summer flies worked: Green Butt, Frances, GP, Ally 's Shrimp.

The week turned out to be interesting. On Belousiha everyone landed fish. On Voronya it was more difficult, but several large fish appeared in the net. Waiting for our guests again!
