Kau Tapen Fishing Report - Jan 30 - Feb 5
67 fish, all silver and fresh, were landed this week in Kau-Tapen, with an average weight of 9.5 pounds. We had 10 fish over 15 pounds, and 3 over 20 pounds.
After the rains stopped the river started to get in a better shape. More clarity, better temperature and level, resulting in a better drift on many of the pools, and also allowing us to wade across. Menendez river also produced a very good amount of fresh and big fish. The largest fish of the week was a 22 pounder. Conditions were tough, but the Kau-Tapen anglers managed to achieve some excellent results.
