A breezy morning in Foxford and we had some rain overnight. The river is already rising and is now at 1.84m at Ballylahan bridge. I would not be surprised to see it reach 2.5m by this evening.

Hopefully that is the end of the rain for a while and after today we will see water levels settling.For anyone who is fishing today, the best chance of a salmon on the Moy will be to head well downstream. The Canal stretch on Ballina salmon anglers waters could be worth a try.
