The river below the Lodge at 19.00 yesterday (August 1).

Conditions.
The radar picture at 01.45am today.
3.5mm rain on the Lodge gauge overnight. There was rain right across the catchment during the night. The forecast is broken for the coming week.
The upper river at Millstreet is holding steady & may start to rise somewhat after the overnight rain.
Killavullen is also holding steady at 1.15m.
Ballyduff gauge rose 1cm overnight & is holding this morning at 0.26m.
Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.4ºC / 54.3ºF.
Catches.
The Second Best Day of
the Season total of 10 fish recorded on Tuesday only lasted 2 days as there
were 11 fish to 6lb. landed on Thursday (July 30) for just 6 rod days.
10 came from the upper river.
125 fish were caught for July for just 216 rod days – a superb average of 0.6 fish/rod day.
This is the 3rd. highest catch for July since 2003, but is probably the best ever July in terms of catch/rod day! Even the best ever July total – which was 296 in 1998 - only had 0.5 fish/rod day!
The total of 244 for the season to the end of July is the highest recorded since 2003 – which is truly remarkable considering the low fishing effort.
Prospects.

Prospects.
The river is in
excellent fly order. Fishing should be good sport in the coming days though it
has been inconsistent in the last 5 days. There are reports of some double
figure fish caught on the lower river.
Hight tides will be peaking at 4.0m today & tomorrow which should help to bring fish into the main river.
Availability.
