Some Torrential localised rain hits catchment

Soem very heavy very localised showers
hit parts of the catchment yesterday afternoon.

This was Millstreet at 08.30 this morning.
Peaked at 20.30 last night - up 20cm.


This was Mallow at 09.15 this morning.
Peaked at 06.30 this morning - up 14cm.


This was Killavullen at 09.00 this morning. Almost peaking - up 12cm.


This was Ballyduff at 09.15 this morning.
Peaked at 22.30 last night at 0.50m - up 30cm.
Dropped then rose & peaked at 0.35m at 09.00.

This was the river below the Lodge at 10.40. Height 0.34m & zero clarity.
The water is extremely dirty down here, coming in primarily from the Araglen below Fermoy but also from the Awbeg at Castletownroche.
The clarity on the top beats just below Mallow was 2-3 feet at 11.00 this morning & is still good at 14.00.
Hopefully this bit of water will be sufficient to bring fresh fish in from the tide & stir up the resident fish in the middle & upper beats which is what happened last weekend.

The number of rods fishing has been low in the last 2 weeks due to the hot sunny weather, but hopefully this fresh together with cooler weather next week will encourage more anglers to get out & more fish to be caught.
Availability for accommodation & fishing is OK in the coming weeks.
