Rain is on the way.……………

Conditions.

The dry spell has continued but will break from Friday.  It looks as if we will be in for a very wet period from Friday until late next week.

The upper river at Killavullen is holding steady at 1.13m.

The Ballyduff gauge is falling slowly & was at 0.23m this morning.

Excellent clarity throughout up & downriver.

Water temperature at Ballyduff: 12.6ºC / 54.6ºF.

Catches.

There were three fish caught today -  two on the upper river.
Catch for September so far is 24 & 392 for the season to date.

Prospects.

Fishing is still challenging. The change in the weather forecast for the end of the week should ensure a rise in the river.

Availability.

No problem for rods & accommodation at the moment.
