26/6/19: Well talking of yesterdays tropical  floods, it was mainly mountainous rain but officially its 10.4 mm of rainfall? On the Southside of the Lake, the mountains were flowing and on the North side and the Commeragh River it did make a bit of a flood in mm terms you will have to go to a Lady’s wheelbarrow and it was full, so you can workout yourself how many mm of rainfall that is. Now today’s action, Currane Angler Mr. Peter Hughes, while C&R fly fishing with his Gillie, caught two fine Sea Trout both in the 2 ½ lbs class. Wind NE light and very warm and cloudy.
