Blackwater looking good for weekend

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 09:21:46 +0000

The river is rising since yesterday after the heavy rain. But things are looking good for the weekend with a lot of fish being reported from my beats above Mallow.
We have had some great fish on the fly at killmurry island stream. My hope is that this might fish the weekend again.

The good news is that from next there will be a camera on the river situated at the bridge in Fermoy. So you will be able to see the levels live from your pc or phone.
