MIK 4,763 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 We were hit with the worst floods in living memory yesterday The power of the water was frightening and it has left utter devastation in our area A friend of mines house that just renovated there house last year the house was built in the 1930s and has never been flooded Our fishing lodge ...I'm not looking forward to opening this up tomorrow That is the main river on the top left hand side of pic There was a good head of fish up on the spawning reds up the glens this winter but I would imagine they will be all washed out and we will see the effects of this in seasons 2019-20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 51,095 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Jesus Christ pal, that's bad.....looking at the lodge it's hard for lads to tell just how bad that is unless you have been there and that there is frightening pal. We are lucky as like you we are up pretty high but below me in the Shannon areas they are having it real bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
