Fish are starting to take the fly...........

This was the Blackwater on this beautiful sunny day at 08.00 this morning.

What a complete change in the weather.

The forecast is for dry weather right thru' to the end of next week.

The river is continuing to fall & fine off.

The Ballyduff gauge was on 0.77m this morning.

The Killavullen gauge webpage has not been updated since 22.45 last night at which time it was on 1.57m.
Hopefully it will be back online soon.

The clarity is 2-2½ feet on the lower river, &
2½-3 feet on the upper river, & improving steadily all the time.


Catches & Prospects
By 10.00, I had already heard of a couple of fish on fly on one of our upper beats.
Size 14 Cascade on intermediate tip was working.
I also heard of at least 3 other fish on fly from other private beats by then. 

With the good forecast & the river settling, prospects for sport in the coming week are awesome!
