Joint Best Day & yet another flood........

Joint Best Day of the Season..............
The final tally for the 2 rods (Ivan Tucker from Carlow & Michael Dix from Dublin) was 10 fish.
Michael had 5 fish on the one beat releasing 3, & Ivan had 3 to 10.7lb. from the same beat. He then moved to another beat in the evening & caught 2 more.
There was just one other grilse caught for the day making the total 11.




The upper river rose yet again last night due to very heavy localised showers in the upper catchment.

This is the Killavullen gauge graph.

The river rose 30cm peaking at 09.00am.
The clarity was however still good.


The lower river was on 0.60m yesterday morning, 0.66m this morning & 0.76m by 15.00 but the clarity is still good.
At 15.30, I had a report that the river at Lombardstown (10km above Mallow) was muddy dirty.
Thank goodness the forecast is for dry weather now through until at least Monday.
