Yes - it's now only 5 days to go to Opening Day!

This is the Cork Blackwater river today - 27th.

There was a 20cm rise on the river yesterday (26th.) following rain in the upper catchment.
This brought the lower river up about 10cm, but it has already started to fall back.
The forecast is then dry from now until the 1st., and the river is in excellent fly-fishable order with great clarity even after the slight rise. It should be perfect for the start of the season.

Here's the rainfall and river height at Ballyduff to this evening.

And here's the gauge heights for the last 5 days on the upper & lower river.
