Let's say 2pm-6pm so 10 fish per hour or one every 6 minutes! Impossible I claim! Am I missing something? 
Read following from Roxtons with alleged catch in 4th paragraph
Russia Fishing Report from Roxtons
Our first rods arrived on Friday 12th May at Lower Varzuga and Middle Varzuga and they have already been treated to some excellent fishing.
The rods certainly arrived with the salmon. We are only three days into the week but we have so far banked 362 salmon to the two camps and to a total of 12 rods across Lower and Middle.
Saturday 13th saw the three rods at Lower release 27, including a clinking fresh 16.5 pound hen caught by Gareth Craze at Lower. A similar sized cock fish at Middle from David Whitren was a worthy addition to their opening day score of 79.
Sunday was another excellent day. Lower Varzuga released 44, whilst Middle had 98, including an extraordinary afternoon of just over 40 fish to Dr Clem McCrory on Birthday pool below the Middle camp.
Monday continued in the same vein with 39 fish to Lower and 75 to Middle.
Although cold the weather has been quite stable. There were the occasional light rain showers and drops of snow over the weekend but they soon passed and the sun has never been too far away. The air temperature has been at six or seven degrees although when the wind has got up it has felt much colder than this.
The river continues its steady drop as expected but although it is lower than at this respective point in last year's late break, it has slowed down over the weekend and is now dropping in half inches rather than dropping away from our feet. The water temperature is currently at two degrees and we are taking salmon on sinking lines with brass tubes, as expected.
As I type, I can see one of the rods in Duck Pool at Lower Varzuga bent into a fish and I will look forward to sending new updates shortly.
