Conditions.
It’s a dry bright sunny day today. The forecast still remains for dry weather right through to the end of the week with warm days but cool nights due to no cloud cover.

The whole river is dropping slowly but steadily and clarity throughout is good 4 feet this morning.

The Killavullen gauge is working again & it is at 1.42m at 10.00 – perfect fly height for the upper river.

The lower river at Ballyduff is dropping steadily but very slowly. It is down to 0.54m at 09.30 this morning. Perfect fly height here too. Clarity 4 feet.

Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 9.0ºC / 48.2ºF @ 10.00 today.
Water temperature at Killavullen:  10.8 – 9.3ºC / 51.4 – 46.6F @ 10.00.

Tides will still be peaking at 3.8m at Youghal today.
Prospects.
Superb right through the coming week with no rain due and the river fining down. The upper & lower river were both well fly fishable today.
 


Catches.

Two fish in the last 3 days & already another one reported by 10.00 this morning.
We now have 3 for April & 14 for the season so far.
