Yesterday’s dirty flood is fining off today ………

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 went up 20cm yesterday & is back down 12cm this morning.
 

At Killavullen the river rose 30cm yesterday & is back down 15cm this morning to 1.34m.  Clarity is about 1½ feet & very peaty. Borderline fly-fishable today.

The Ballyduff gauge peaked at 0.87m yesterday morning & is down to 0.56m this morning. Clarity is about 1½ feet with a fair amount of sediment colour. 

Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.8ºC / 55ºF.

Catches.

Just one fish yesterday on the middle river in very dirty water with clarity barely a foot.
We have caught 92 so far for August & 337 for the season to date.

Prospects.
Very promising for the coming days as the latest flood should bring in more fresh fish.
Fish were moving on the upper river yesterday & a very fresh fish was lost on Bridgetown. Fish were also seen moving through later in the day on the lower river.

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