The water dropped considerably during the night of the 19th, and by the morning of the 20th, was about 8" high (according to a local). Fishing conditions were nigh on perfect, if a little bright. Tuesday was overcast with a chill breeze, water very slightly lower, still peat stained.
Wednesday saw perfect water, but a cloudless sky.
Virtually all the locals had fish, on each of the three days I was there.
I didn't!
