Langa had an astonishing opening catch. A best ever record of 50 salmon for the starting party. The best previous starts have been somewhere around 25-30 fish so we will be wondering where this will lead us.

According to local expert Vífill Oddsson, the bottom beats were simply full of fish and there were jumping salmon í every pool. There were also considerable numbers in many of the pools further up river and there were more mws's than usual as Langa is not known for its mws runs. This is of course a good sign as the river was far above its ten year average last year and wracked up a superb record catch in 2008.
