River fining off nicely!




Conditions.

It’s a beautiful bright morning here today.  Air temperature +6ºC at 07.30.
The forecast continues to be for high pressure building over Ireland.
It should be dry from this evening right through until next Sunday.

The upper river at Millstreet (80km upstream of the Lodge) has dropped considerably
& is now falling quite slowly but steadily.
 
The middle river at Killavullen (37km upstream of the Lodge) is showing the same pattern - dropping more slowly overnight. It is down to 1.80m at 07.15 this morning.


The lower river at Ballyduff is still falling quite quickly.
It is down to 1.02m at 07.30 this morning. Clarity is 1½ - 2 feet.



Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 8.3ºC / 47.0ºF @ 07.30.

Water temperature at Killavullen: 6.6ºC / 43.9ºF @ 07.30.


Prospects.
The river is in excellent order for spinning today.
It is still high for the fly today but the clarity is well good enough.
With the dry weather continuing, the river will improve steadily
and the coming week looks very promising indeed!
