The river is falling & has good clarity despite the rise overnight!

The river below the Lodge at 18.00 peaking at 1.10m

Conditions.

It was a dry cool breezy day here today. The forecast is dry for tomorrow with broken weather over the weekend & into the start of the week with probably only light rain. Another cool night tonight & then getting milder into the weekend. High pressure building from early next week with the second half of the week looking dry.

The upper river at Millstreet is now falling rapidly.

The level of the middle river at Killavullen (37km upstream of the Lodge) peaked at 2.07m at 13.00 & is now falling fast. It’s down to 1.79m at 19.45

The lower river at Ballyduff peaked at 1.10m at 19.30 this evening. Clarity is ~3ft with sedimenty colour which will fall out quickly.

Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 8.5ºC / 47.4ºF @ 11.00 today.
Water temperature at Killavullen:  6.8 – 7.4ºC / 44.2 – 45.3ºF @ 11.00.

Prospects.

The river should be fly-fishable from tomorrow upriver albeit rather high. It will be excellent for spinning throughout as the clarity is rather good.  Probably too high for the fly on the lower river for the next couple of days.
