A small fresh on the river & a 12 pounder caught………

Conditions.

Some rain overnight (1mm here). The forecast is now for some rain due on Wednesday.


The upper river at Millstreet rose 5cm & is holding at that. The clarity is excellent.

At Killavullen the river rose just 1cm to 1.17m.  Excellent fly height & clarity.


The Ballyduff gauge is holding at 0.27m for the last 2 days. Again excellent fly height & clarity.

 Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.6ºC / 54.6ºF.

Catches.

Only a couple of rods out. Three fish to 11¾lb. caught. This wa the Fifth Best Fish so far.

Prospects.

Seem to be improving and expecting it to come good with all the fish that ran in on the last flood. Tides were peaking at 3.8m for the last couple of days which may have helped to bring fish in.

Availability.

No problem for rods & accommodation at the moment.
