The First on Floating Line!
Conor Arnold contacted me yesterday afternoon to ask if he could go trout fishing to Ballyhooly.I suggested he go instead to Kilmurry with the salmon rod as it was free.He caught this fish at dusk (7.15pm) on a #10 shrimp fly on a floating line. This is more akin to summer rather than spring fishing with the air temperature in the afternoon up to 16°C.
This is the fourth springer for March which doesn’t sound a lot, but is remarkable when you considerthat there have been only 41 rod days so far for the whole month. Total for the season so far is now nine.
This is the Blackwater in fantastic fly order at 9.00 am this morning with clarity #5-6 feet. Having held at 0.30 for about 4 days, the river is now dropping very slowly once more & was at 0.27m this morning at 9.00am. Water temp. 48°F. Beautiful fly height with summer level.
Prospects
The forecast is for continuing dry weather for most of the week. The longer-range forecast is for a very wet start to April.With few fresh fish running due to the summer level, a flood would be welcome.
