Sixth Best Day & Seventh Best Fish today & river keeps topped up!

Conditions.
Sporadic showers (some quite heavy) continued today until early afternoon. High pressure builds of the west coast throughout next week giving stable calm conditions & no rain for the week.

The upper river at Millstreet is being kept topped up by the showers.

Killavullen is holding steady for the second part of the day at between 1.26 – 1.28m. Clarity is about 2½ - 3 feet & slightly peaty. Well fly-fishable today.

The Ballyduff gauge is also holding steady today at 0.38m. Clarity is about 2½ - 3 feet.

Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.8ºC / 55ºF.

Catches.

Continuing to pick up now. Ten fish to 11lb. were caught today. The 11lb. was taken by Michael Foran (Kinsale) & Glen Harmon had an 8½lb fish. Both fell to fly.
We have caught 111 so far for August & 356 for the season to date.

Prospects.
Absolutely excellent for the coming week. There are very high (4.1m) tides for the 3 days from this evening, which will help to bring fish in. Fish are moving especially on the upper river & are coming on the take as the latest flood fines off. The weather will be dry & stable for the coming week making for very good & very pleasant fishing conditions.

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