Conditions.
The Met Eireann forecast from midnight tonight.
A band of rain will cross the catchment from the northwest.
The Radar picture at 21.00 with the rain approaching the catchment.
Air temperature +11 ºC at 16.00.
Forecast still has some bands of rain to come in on Monday & Thursday.
High tides are peaking at 3.8m in Youghal Sunday & Monday.
The upper river at Millstreet continues to fall slowly & steadily.
This was the upper river at Killavullen at 21.00 this evening. Gauge height 1.66 at 21.00 – only down 3cm since early morning.
Still heavy, but better fly order than downriver.
Approaching the magic 1.60m here slowly but surely. Clarity about 4 feet.
This was the lower river at 21.00 this evening – gauge at 0.82m – only down 4cm since 07.45 & falling slowly & steadily. Clarity about 4 feet.
Water temperature at Ballyduff: 8.3ºC / 47.0ºF @ 21.00.
Water temperature at Killavullen: 8.6ºC / 46.8ºF @ 21.00.
This is the first time the upper river has been warmer than the lower river.
Prospects.
The river is in excellent spinnable order today throughout today& should continue to improve during the day. It is now coming to fair fly order on the upper river as the height at Killavullen is below 1.66m. The lower river is still too high for fly-fishing – maybe tomorrow! All depends on how much rain falls overnight!
For the third day in a row another fresh springer was lost at Ballyhooly Bridge on spinner today.
