A little rain may liven up the fish………….

The river below the Lodge at 08.00 this morning (11th). Gauge height: 0.44m
 
Conditions.
It’s a dry bright sunny day here at 07.00 this morning but frosty. A band of rain passed through the catchment late last night & I had 2.5mm rain on my gauge this morning. again today. There is a bit more rain forecast for tomorrow & then high pressure will build again for the coming week.

The whole river has been dropping very slowly through the last week with very clear water.

The Millstreet gauge has risen 6cm by 06.00 this morning & has peaked.
 

The Killavullen gauge is holding at 1.33m since early yesterday morning.

The lower river at Ballyduff is dropping steadily but very slowly.
It is down to 0.44m at 08.00 this morning.



Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 9.0ºC / 48.2ºF @ 07.00 today.
Water temperature at Killavullen:  11.5 – 10.3ºC / 52.7 – 50.5ºF.

Prospects.
Conditions have been challenging over the last week due to very bright sunshine & clear water. There may be some improvement with the broken forecast for tomorrow.

Catches.
There have been no more fish reported in the last few days since the three we caught over last weekend.
