Spring 2017 for wild Atlantic salmon

Never since 1992, have I experienced spring conditions such as seen this year. Two weeks ago, I believed there would be 2 chances of having the ice out so that we could fish before May 1. Those chances were slim and none. I have to say slim triumphant and low and behold, we have just came through an amazing week of spring fishing. Amazing for a number of reasons:
1) The ice in the main tidal stem of the river held fast.
2) We had snow almost every day, which necessitated the guides to shovel out their boats3 times during the week.
3) But mjost importantly, the catching has been amazing.
