New Best Day of the Season – 18 fish caught!

Yesterday’s Best Day of the Season record of 15 fish caught lasted only 24 hours!
Today, 18 fish were landed for 19 rod days. 9 fell to the fly & 7 to spinner.


Conditions.
There was no rain in the catchment for the last 24 hours. The forecast is now dry right through until the end of next week.

The upper river at Millstreet is falling steadily. The clarity is about 3 feet.

At Killavullen the river is down to 1.28 this evening. Excellent fly height & clarity which is ~3 feet & slightly peaty.

The Ballyduff gauge is down to 0.40 by nightfall. Again excellent fly height & clarity which is ~3 feet & slightly peaty.

 Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.6ºC / 54.6ºF.

Catches.


Today recorded the New Best Day of the Season. Eighteen fish to 8lb. were caught. Seven fell to spinner & nine to the fly as the water is fining off to superb order.

Prospects.
Absolutely superb as the river is fining off & there is an excellent run of grilse & a number of double figure fish are being seen as well. Almost all the fish caught (even on the topmost beats) on our waters were extremely fresh.

Availability.
No problem for rods & accommodation at the moment.
