Ghille Vincent Appleby reports from his blog on Lough Currane:
07/08/2013: Today was all about catching our faith, as you can see by the photos, or you could say the Honourable Fathers had a good catch, it was a pity my Noble Anglers couldn’t say the same, and there was no wind from any direction.
08/08/2013: All quiet on the SW front, and going back to yesterday and the update department. Mr, Pete Maxi of the UK, caught one Junior on the drift, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Sylvester Donnelly.
09/08/2013: Today was the start of Lough Currane Catch Release Fly fishing Championship, Sponsored by www.emergertackle.com and there was some good action with 35 plus Sea Trout caught on the first day, the biggest I believe was in the 4 lbs. class. I will give all the facts in tomorrows update. Now for the rest of the Game fishing news. In the Sea Trout department anglers did catch a few Sea Trout. Now to the backdate department, yesterday 8/8/13 Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com reported to me that Mr. Mike Shea and Mr. Jerome Dowling, caught a fine lightening fresh 9 lbs. Salmon and they finished their day off with a fine Grilse, all caught on the fly. Now back today’s facts on the weather front, there was a light N wind then veered W late this afternoon with reasonable cloud cover at times.
10/08/2013: I will start by apologizing for the delay, but got home late after the great Dinner and party at the Waterville Inn and on behalf of all the Anglers, I would like to thank Mr. Damien Duff the Landlord of the Waterville Inn and his good wife Sally and all the staff for a great party and Dinner. Now to the Lough Currane Catch and Release Fly fishing Championship. The First Prize was won by Eugene McCarthy with 179 points.
The Second by John Meagher with 172 points and Third Prize by John Curnow with 170 points. The prize giving dinner was held at the Waterville Inn and a good evening was had by all!
