Finally the waters are receding..............

This was the river below the Lodge at 09.00 today Saturday 8th. March.
The gauge height was 1.50m & falling & the clarity ~1
½ feet.


This is the gauge height at Millstreet on the upper river for the last week to this morning.
Last Thursday March 6th., the river
got down to it's lowest level since the start of the season
on February 1st. Then of course it rained yet again & the upper river rose 80cm.


 The river was down to 1.25m at Ballyduff on Thursday, but the rain brought it back up to
2.05m @ 20.00 last night. By this morning it has dropped rapidly & is at 1.43m @ 12.15 today Saturday 8th. Clarity is about 2 feet on the upper river & 1
½ feet at Ballyduff.

Promising forecast

It now looks as if we are going to have a spell of dry weather as the longer forecasts are now giving high pressure building suring the coming week & warm dry weather. About bloody time!

Superb Prospects
With fish reported as far up as Killavullen, we should be in for some excellent sport
once the water drops - which it is bound to do in the coming days.

There is no problem for availability of fishing for the coming week.
