New Second Best Day of Season…......

Both the Total Catch for the Season to the end of July and the average Catch per Rod Day are the highest since 2003.

Conditions.
Dry overnight here. Occasional showers today. The forecast is broken from tomorrow through to Tuesday with some heavier rain Sunday.

The upper river at Millstreet is falling slowly.

Killavullen is also falling slowly but steadily, & is at 1.15m this morning. Clarity is about 4-5 feet.

At Ballyduff, the river is falling steadily & is at 0.28m at 09.00. Clarity is about 4  feet.

 Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.4ºC / 54.3ºF.

Catches.

The Second Best Day of the Season total of 10 fish recorded on Tuesday only lasted 2 days as there were 11 fish to 6lb. landed yesterday for just 6 rod days. 10 came from the upper river.
124 fish have been caught so far for July for just 216 rod days – a superb average of 0.6 fish/rod day. 244 for the season to date.

Prospects.
The river is in excellent fly order. Fishing should be good sport in the coming days with the latest small fresh on the river. There are reports of some double figure fish caught on the lower river.
Hight tides will be peaking at 4.0m this coming weekend from Saturday to Monday which should help to bring fish into the main river.

Availability.
No problem for rods & accommodation at the moment.
