Showers keep upper river topped up but.............. Fish met yesterday!

There are continuing showers that are keeping the river topped up, but the overall level
is slowly but surely starting to reduce, & hopefully this will continue in the coming days
as the weather forecast - whilst continuing to be broken - is certainly not as wet as it
has been in recent weeks (he said optimistically!).

The overall reduction in the level can be well seen on the upper river at Millstreet @ 03.00
today Monday. Last night it was down to 1.02m which is almost as low as it was on February 20 (0.99) and January 30 (0.98m) - the previous lowest levels since the start of the season.

A similar picture can be seen on the lower river which got down to 1.77m yesterday.
Just a couple of rods ventured out & three fish were briefly hooked, one of which was a very heavy fish & definitely a springer from the way it fought.

ProspectsIf the river drops just a little more, the conditions for (albeit heavy) spinning will be much better
& the likelihood of springers being met will increase dramatically.
