Ian Powell of Blackwater Lodge reports:
October 4th today – It’s a lovely sunny day & the rain looks as if it’s finished with a dry forecast for the next 5 days. The upper river is dropping & fining down well.
Picture is river at 12.00 today. Gauge 0.65m.
This comparatively clean 9lb. fish was the second of the two taken by Conor Arnold on one of our uppermost beats this morning.
Another 4 rod party fishing two upper beats have met a couple of fish & are seeing fish running. They report the clarity as a good 2 feet on the upper river @ 13.00.
The lower river is dropping (coming just to fly height) but the clarity fell from 1½ feet @ 8am to a foot at midday resulting from the rise on the upper river yesterday.
The prospects for the coming days are SUPERB & we have both fishing & accommodation available.
As last year, the 12 days in October will be Fly Only and Catch & Release. Fishing is just €80/day for the remainder of the season. B&B is also only €35/person sharing
