Already the Fourth Best Total for June since Ten Years (to the 22nd.)...

This is the Blackwater at 07.30 this morning.

 The river rose 5cm at Ballyduff overnight to 1.05m. Clarity is excellent at 2½-3 feet.

The upper river rose again last night, peaking at midnight @ 1.88m - up 15cm. 
It's back to 1.78 @ 07.45 & falling. 

This 8.9lb. fish was caught yesterday on spinner on Kents on the lower river.
Three more fish to 9lb. were caught on the upper river. All the fish were extremely fresh & all taken on spinner. Several more fish were lost, including one large fish which broke the anglers line - he had already caught two fish of 3 & 9lb. in one hour before. The total for June is now 51 fish (for a mere 68 rod days) which is already the Fourth Best Total for June for the last Ten Years & this is only up to the 22nd.

The Season total to date is 108 fish
