Clarity on the upper river is 6-7 feet.

 

The lower river at Ballyduff is at 0.28m.  Clarity is about 6-7 feet.

Catches.

The final total for today was 9 grilse to 7lb. – the Second Best Day of 2015. 3 very fresh fish were caught by mid-day from the upper river in the morning. This evening Kevin Collins (Cork) landed 4 & Kieran Conlon landed two on a micro-tube on the lower river. These 6 were all sea-liced.

We now have 72 fish for the month to date & 104 for the season so far.

Prospects.

Superb for the coming days as more & more fish are running. There was a very good run of fish through our lower beats today. There are also high tides next week peaking at 3.9m from Thursday to Saturday..

Availability.

No problem for rods & accommodation at the moment.
