Seven Fish today as river fines off……………

Conditions.
No rain in the last 24 hours. The forecast is still for high pressure to build off the west coast throughout next week giving stable calm conditions & no rain for the week.

The upper river at Millstreet is now falling steadily.

Killavullen was holding steady at 1.27m but is falling this evening to 1.24m by nightfall.

The Ballyduff gauge nudged up from 0.36m to 0.37m during the day but was back to 0.36m by nightfall. 

Excellent clarity throughout up & downriver.

Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.7ºC / 54.8ºF.

Catches.

There were few fish moving today & no influx of fresh fish seen. Seven fish for the day including six from our very top beat 28 miles upriver.
We have caught 118 so far for August & 363 for the season to date.
The fish/rod day for August is 0.4 which is nevertheless rather good.

Prospects.
Fishing was rather challenging today. There are very high (4.1m) tides for the next 2 days, which should help to bring some fresh fish in. The weather will be dry & stable for the coming week making for very good & very pleasant fishing conditions.

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