The upper river is falling & lower tributaries are not in flood ………

Conditions.

Still some squally showers this morning but fading away as the day progressed. Then the forecast is dry weather from now on into the middle of next week with high pressure building over Ireland this coming weekend. Winds will slacken considerably from Wednesday on.


The upper river at Millstreet peaked at 10.00 - up 80cm since early yesterday morning. By 22.30  it was back down  40cm.


The upper river at Killavullen peaked at 2.11m at 20.00. Clarity at Mallow at 20.00 is ~2 feet.

 
The lower river at Ballyduff is up to 0.90m at 22.30 & rising. Clarity this evening was 2-3 feet.

Water temperature at Ballyduff: 10.0ºC / 50.4ºF 19th. & steady.

Prospects.
Fishing remains challenging. Both the upper & lower river won’t be in fly order tomorrow, but should be so by Thursday. It should be in reasonable spinning order tomorrow.

Catches.
There were just 2 rods fishing in difficult conditions with strong winds & some heavy isolated showers. One fish met, but no fish were caught.
