Finally the rain is falling in the catchment. Expect great fishing if a flood comes.........

 This was the radar rainfall picture at 05.15 this morning.

 I had 10mm rain on the Lodge gauge @ 08.20 this morning

This is the river at 08.20 this morning. Ballyduff gauge on 0.25m.

10mm of rain in the early hours of this morning has not started to affect the river levels yet.

We have caught 19 fish for 42 rod days for the 10 days to yesterday.
Yesterday, there was just one rod out & he released a grilse
& lost a very good fish of ~15lb.
which opened his treble - both fell to fly.

Prospects

This is the very latest radar picture which show heavy rain
heading right for the catchment at 09.00 today.
Looks as if there's plenty more to come.

We should see a good rise in the level
& this will mean fantastic sport as soon as the flood begins to fine off!
