Heavy Rain at Last !

| | |

Water conditions: Very High Spate
Weather: Torrential rain on 23rd July

"...Last night approx 112 fish entered the river !..."

Very Heavy rain on the Saturday, running into Sunday morning resulted in high Spates on most of the spate rivers in Kerry, such as the Kerry Blackwater & the Sneem River. This resulted in approx 8 fish being caught on the Sunday on the Kerry Blackwater, where good numbers of fish were seen running early in the morning. Levels were still good on the Monday, when I had three lovely Grilse myself on the fly. Last night approx 112 fish entered the river giving excellent prospects for the coming week, particularly with more rain due Wednesday/Thursday this week. The Laune rose quickly and dropped just as fast with no great reports being heard. The river Lee is currently very high and coloured as I write this, though fishing should be good once the clarity improves. The Munster Blackwater also had a significant rise, and as large numbers Grilse & Autumn fish were reported in the tidal stretches just prior to the flood, prospects for the coming fortnight should be considered as excellent.
