Angling ghillie and guide Vincent Appleby reports from Lough Currane
6/2/12 I start this weeks report on the same note as I ended last weeks, and my sentiments are still the same in all departments. i.e. not enough anglers manipulating their Rapala’s or stimulating their flies so get out there and catch my Noble Gentlemen the Salmon.
7/2/12 Just the odd Kelt caught, but no reports of any real rod benders or excitement. Wind SE light and overcast with light rain at times.
8/2/12 Not lot of action on the Big Lake/Lough Currane, so we will head downstream To the famous Butler pool – www.watervillegolflinks.ie Renowned Ghillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan- www.vincentsfishing.com reported to me in the Lobster Bar this evening that his Brother-in-law and Ghillie Mr. Michael O’Sullivan, – [email protected] lost a fine Salmon on the fly with his client. Wind SSE light to fresh and overcast with light rain at times.
9/2/12 All quiet on the SW front, or you could say my Noble Angler is more elusive than my Noble Gentlemen the Salmon. Wind SSW light and overcast with light misty rain at times.
10/2/12 The Salmon department opened up on Lough Currane today, and Supreme Ghillie Mr. Brod O’Sullivan of Stella Maris Guesthouse Waterville, takes all the head lines, and for a good reason, he caught a fine 11 lbs. Salmon on the troll going towards the bridge, and Brod was telling me that he had a good battle with my Noble Gentlemen the Salmon and the rest is history, and as Brod has said to me many times in the last 40 plus years you can’t beat experience and there is no argument to that.
11/2/12 All quiet on the SW front in all departments. On the weather front Lough Currane was flat calm all day with the light shower.
12/2/12 Different day but the same results as yesterday in all departments. That is your ration for this week, from your Gillie/Guide and the Waterville fishery. No Spin No Fly’s just facts.

Welll known ghillie, Brod O'Sullivan with a nice salmon of 11 lb. from Lough Currane
