The river is fining off to superb clarity ………

Conditions.

Dry today. The forecast is now dry right through the weekend with some rain due on Wednesday.

The upper river continues to fall. The clarity is excellent.

At Killavullen the river is holding all day at 1.16m.  Excellent fly height & clarity.

The Ballyduff gauge is down to 0.27m by nightfall. Again excellent fly height & clarity.

 Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.6ºC / 54.6ºF.

Catches.

Ticking along steadily. Only 2 fish today but including a 10½ pounder for John Tucker (UK).

Prospects.

Rather challenging currently, but expecting it to come good with all the fish that ran in on the last flood. Tides are peaking at 3.8m for the next couple of days which may help to bring fish in.
Availability.

No problem for rods & accommodation at the moment.
