The great fishing continues.........

On Monday 9th., 6 fish were caught (including the 13lb. First Salmon in last blog entry) making it the Fifth Best Day of the season. This included a couple of sea-liced fish from the lower river from Kilmurry & Kents.

 On Tuesday 10th., 9 fish were caught which made this the Third Best Day of 2012.
Mike Whelan caught these three fish all between 9-10lb. on Kilmurry on the lower river.

 

Stefan Kadlubowski released this 9½ pounder on fly on the Wood Flat on Woodstream.

 

Joe Tynan caught his first fish on the fly yesterday too.
It weighed 4lb. & was caught on the Castle Flat on Ballyhooly.

Both the upper & lower river are dropping today but slowly due to the localised showers.
Yesterday both rose - the upper by a foot to 1.81m & the lower by 15cm.
They are down to 1.61m & 0.88m respectively this morning.  
Clarity is fair here @ ~2-2½ feet.  It is similar upriver. Some quite heavy localised showers  are still keeping the river topped up.
The heavy rain forecast for today fell south of the catchment.

Superb prospects for the coming weekend.
