Conditions.
Yesterday’s rain (10mm
here) was heaviest in the middle & lower catchment. There is some more
forecast for tomorrow (Wednesday).
The upper river at Millstreet has risen 9cm since yesterday – a total of 14cm since the rain started. It was rising slowly by nightfall but is rising faster at 23.00. The clarity is excellent.
At Killavullen the river has risen 5cm to 1.24m since yesterday – a total of 8cm since the rain started. It is also still rising slowly by nightfall. Excellent fly height & clarity.
The Ballyduff gauge has risen 13cm to 0.42m since yesterday – a total of 16cm since the rain started. It is still rising quite fast by nightfall. Clarity was deteriorating on the lower river due to a dirty spate coming from the Araglen later in the afternoon. This will probably clear reasonably well overnight.
Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.8ºC / 55ºF.

Catches.
Fishing remains challenging with just 8 fish in the last 7 days.
We have caught 91 so far for August & 336 for the season to date.
Prospects.
This evening there was
a good number of fish showing on Kilmurry on the lower river – far more than we
have seen in the last week. With the lower river still rising & more rain
forecast for tomorrow, we should have even more water in the river in the next
couple of days. This should help to bring fresh fish in.

No problem for rods
& accommodation at the moment.
