We set off this morning with the intention of going for a days fishing, it was still and sunny with forecast temperatures in the mid to high 20's, so we decided the river was a better bet than burning on a lake. So we decided to fish the Kells Blackwater...we got 3/4 of the way there and suddenly there were floods on the road.....all the way up to the river....yes the river was in full flood, chocolate coloured and on the banks. End of river fishing.
We decided then to continue on to lough Sheelin, and as we hadn't put the enging in the van we had to hire one. We set out eventually about 3 pm. motored down the lake and settled in. The bright sun and little ripple meant we were going to have to wait until evening to have any chance of fish. About half an hour before the sun reached a low enough level, big thunder clouds formed and there followed thunder & lightning.....end of fishing for the day....you dont wave 11ft carbob lightning conductors on a lake in a lightning storm....
Arriving into shore we heard that two houses in Kells had lost their roofs in a mini twister with the thunder storm earlier.... it could have been worse....we could have got one of those on the lake..
....Oh yes, we didn't catch anything...
