And yet another flood.........................

There was just one fish caught yesterday which was an extremely fresh 5 pounder from our very top beat 28 miles upriver which was a bit surprising as most of the fish seem moving in the last 2 days didn't look very fresh.
Yet more rain has brought the river up once again.
I had 19mm on my gauge this morning.
The upper river at Killavullen rose 40cm to 2.01m
peaking at 14.00 this afternoon.










The lower river is rising slowly all day & was at 1.20m @ 16.30 this afternoon from it's level yesterday evening of 0.86m.
The clarity was surprisingly good at 1 1/2 - 2 feet.










Prospects
There is some more rain forecast up to Wednesday though hopefully not as much as recently.
The forecast then right through from Thursday into the weekend is warm, dry & sunny.
Perhaps we'll have some semblance of summer in the river and the weather over the weekend.
