Not to be outdone by a team largely made up of AAPGAI instructors, my wife Kate returned with us to Kjos for our annual back-end trip this year and had a lovely salmon on the very first session.

| Lovely fish on the first session from the tributary |
The hen of about 9lb came from the small Bugda tributary on a size 16 Green Butt tweaked just below the surface right at the tail of a pool. On a 6-weight single hander, the fight was spectacular.

| Not sure who's the more excited, Kate or KJ! |
In contrast to the bonanza this team enjoyed last year, fish were much harder to come by as the runs across Iceland this year (with the odd exception such as Midfjardara and Sela) have been disappointing. But Kate wasn't to give up and landed another one much to the excitement of KJ, our wonderful guide who made the five days fishing an absolute delight. And she lost another fresh fish too.

| Waterfall fishing on Beat 1 |
The team of friends was as much fun as ever and who can fail to enjoy fishing in such fabulous scenery. Beat 1 with its waterfalls was especially spectacular with the good water height.

We'll be back next year for what has become one of the most fun weeks of our year!
