The Bad news!
Some heavy rain swept up the catchment from the east last night. I had 9mm on my gauge here.
The upper river peaked @ 11.00 @ 1.98m & dropped to 1.83m by 19.00 today.
The clarity was poor in the morning but is improving slowly by evening. The lower river peaked @ 1.28m this afternoon is is back to 1.22 by 20.00. Clarity ~1½-2 feet.

The Good news!
The 5 Day forecast is now dry right up until Wednesday next week.
The Prospects
Even with the floods we have had some amazing fishing so far for July with 26 fish for just 27 rod days.
The prospects have to be absolutely superb for the coming week, as there have been great runs of large sea-liced fish coming through the upper river in recent days.
Even yesterday with the Killavullen gauge at 1.65m, 2 rods slipped into Ballyhooly at 6.30pm & released two fish on the fly.
