The river is in excellent order & fly-fishable throughout.



                  The river at 10.15 this morning. Gauge height:  0.59m
Conditions.
It’s a bright sunny day today with air temperature reaching 13ºC at 10.15. The forecast still remains for dry weather right through to the end of the week with warm days but cool nights due to no cloud cover.


The upper river at Millstreet continues to fall steadily since yesterday morning. Clarity improved during the day from 1½ to 2½ feet by nightfall.

The Killavullen gauge is still currently out of order.

Mallow gauge is dropping away steadily. Clarity at Woodstream is 2½ - 3 feet.


The lower river at Ballyduff is dropping steadily but slowly now this morning. It is down to 0.58m at 10.00 with clarity also 2½ -3 feet.

Water temperature at    Ballyduff: 9.0ºC / 48.2ºF @ 09.00 today.
Water temperature at Killavullen:  7.6 - 8.0 ºC / 45.7 - 46.4ºF @ 09.00.

Tides will be peaking at 3.8m at Youghal today & Monday.

Prospects.
Superb right through the coming week as there is now no rain due and the winds will drop right down. The upper & lower river are both fly fishable today.
