River gets better & better each day!








Conditions.

It was another beautiful bright day here today once the early morning fog burnt off.  Air temperature +13ºC at 16.30.
The forecast continues to be for high pressure building over Ireland. It should be dry from this evening right through until Wednesday of next week with some cool nights.

 

The middle river at Killavullen (37km upstream of the Lodge) is also dropping slowly but steadily. It is down to 1.52m at 16.30 this evening.
Clarity is about 5 feet.


The lower river at Ballyduff is still falling quite quickly.
It is down to 0.70m at 17.00 this evening. Clarity is ~5 feet.

Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 8.3ºC / 47.0ºF @ 10.00.

Water temperature at Killavullen: 6.9 – 7.8ºC / 44.4 – 46.0ºF @ 17.00.

High Tides
We have spring tides at the end of the week which will peak tomorrow, Saturday & Sunday at 4.1m in Youghal.


Prospects.
The river was in excellent order for spinning throughout today. It was still a bit high for the fly today on the lower river but should be OK from tomorrow.
The upper river is now in fly order.
With the dry weather continuing, the river will continue to improve steadily,
and the next seven days look very promising indeed!
The river is settling down and fish are starting to come on the take.
