A 3 foot flood just peaking on the lower river ………………




Conditions
.
It was a mild mixed day with the air temperature up to 7°C yesterday.
I had another 7mm rain on my gauge for yesterday. 
It was extremely windy in the afternoon.
This morning at 06.30 it’s trying to snow!
The weather will continue cool & broken for the coming week 

except for a mild day on Thursday.



The band of heavy rain produced a sharp rise of 3 feet on the upper river
which peaked at 21.00 last night.



The lower river has been rising steadily for the last couple of days,
& is at 1.46m at 06.30 this morning. 
The clarity fell from 3+ feet to less than a foot early yesterday afternoon.



Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 7.9ºC / 46.2ºF @ 07.00.
Water temperature at Killavullen: 6.00ºC / 42.8ºF @ 06.00.

Prospects.
The river is too high for the fly today. 
High water spinnability will depend on clarity.
