Conditions.

It’s was a beautiful bright day here today.  Air temperature +7ºC at 18.00.
The forecast continues to be for high pressure building over Ireland. It should be dry from this evening right through next week and until the following Monday with some frosty nights.
 
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 1.75m at 18.00 this evening. Approaching fly order.

The lower river at Ballyduff is still falling quite quickly. It is down to 0.97m at 18.00 this morning. Clarity is 2½ - 3 feet.


Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 8.3ºC / 47.0ºF @ 18.00.
Water temperature at Killavullen: 6.9ºC / 44.5ºF @ 18.00.

Prospects.
The river was in excellent order for spinning today.
It is still a bit high for the fly today but the clarity is well good enough.
The upper beats will just about be coming to fly order tomorrow Monday.
With the dry weather continuing, the river will improve steadily
and the coming week looks very promising indeed!
