Shane Gallagher from the Drowes Salmon Fishery gives us an update on river conditions:

Water levels rose again today following very heavy rain overnight and this morning. The water was a little coloured following the flood but mainly cleared by afternoon. The gauge is now back to over 1 metre. Forecast for tomorrow is cold and dry, more heavy rain and strong winds forecast for Sunday and Monday. Unsettled, stormy conditions look set to continue into the start of next week. The strong winds and flood waters are making fishing conditions very difficult indeed.
