River now in perfect condition......

This is the Blackwater below the Lodge
this afternoon.

In perfect condition.
Medium high summer level & excellent clarity.











The spell of dry weather has seen the river
drop to an excellent height for the time of year
& it has now fined off to superb clarity.

The height at Killavullen is now 1.34m.
The clarity is ~5 feet.




The lower river is also dropping  slowly & steadily & is now at a super fly height & clarity.

The gauge is on 0.50m this afternoon.
The clarity is ~5 feet.









There are huge numbers of fish running
the upper & lower river, but they are intent
on running & are not taking well at all.

So far we have 53 fish to 17.2lb for 112 rod days for September.

The total for the season is 435.






Prospects
There was a small amount of rain this orning, but the forecast is now dry for the rest of the week.
The river should continue to fine off & hopefully the huge numbers of fish running & already present will come on the take.
