The upper river at Millstreet has been holding steady since 13.00 today.

The latest reading for the level of the middle river at Killavullen (37km upstream of the Lodge) was at 16.00 yesterday due to phone connection problems. At that stage is was down to 1.55m. & falling. This is fair fly height for the upper river . Clarity was 3-4 feet this evening.
