Ghillie Vincent Appleby reports on the salmon and sea trout fishing in the past week on Lough Currane from his blog at http://wwwsalmonandseatroutphotos.blogspot.com/ 7/5/14 Lough Currane was on the wild side and in the words of Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com the Lake was mad from the west, so on that note as my Noble Salmon weren’t in a taking mood we head for the wild Finch department and they were in a taking mood with Scones on the menu. Wind W Mad and overcast with showers.
with there 10 lbs Hatchery Salmon
8/5/14 All the headlines and the action comes from the North side and the Bungalow, and not forgetting a bit of history breaking news, so lets get to the action, Mr. Michael Shultz of Berlin, Germany, wrote himself into the history books by catching the first Spring clipped Hatchery 10 lbs Salmon on the fly off the point of Grassy, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Now we head to the specimen Sea trout department and Mr. Paul Eustace, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com caught a cracker of a Sea Trout of 8 lb. 8 oz., caught on the troll. Wind NW light to fresh with good cloud cover and for the rest of the Lough Currane angling community, no Comment.
9/5/14 All today’s head lines go to the Wolverhampton Wanderer, yes you have it, Local Gillie Mr. Bob Priestly caught a fine 10 lb. Salmon on the troll. Now to the belated Salmon Department, yesterday Mr. Kevin Brain of www.kbfishingireland.com caught a fine Salmon on the Commeragh River. Wind fresh North West this morning then veered SW light this afternoon, with rain coming in this evening, amount of rainfall yesterday 9.7 mm.
10/5/14 Lough Currane was on the mental side, with a wild West wind blowing down the Lake, but wild or not this didn’t deter two boats heading for the Mouth of the Commeragh, but alas only one boat came up with the goods and that honour goes to Mr. Colin Lynam of Dublin, who caught a 6 lb. Salmon on the fly, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Mike O’Dwyer, and just for the record the paparazzi stayed at home because of the wild conditions, but there is a photo, so as soon as I get it, I will put it up. Wind as already stated. Overcast with heavy showers.
11/5/14 There was good fishing on Lough Currane today, so straight to the action, first, and I mean first in the striking zone, was Master Conor, who gave his Proud Granddad and local Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com a helping hand with his 10 lb. Salmon and may it be the first of many for Conor, just for the record Frankie caught his Salmon on the troll. Staying on the south side Mr. Gerry O’Sullivan of Cork caught a lightening 9 ½ lbs Salmon on the Troll. Now we cut across to the North side and the hired out boat department of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] Mr. Daniel O’Sullivan caught a 3 lbs Grilse on the troll, along the North Shore going towards the Black Point. Staying with the North Shore we head for the Sea trout department, Mr Arnold Slater caught a fine 2 lb. Sea Trout on the troll while fishing his Gillie Mr. Junior Scully. Now for the Lough Currane regional forecast, wind fresh NW with showers. As promised the photo of yesterday’s Salmon, of Mr. Colin Lynam, Dublin, and his fine 6 lb. Salmon.
12/5/14 My Noble Anglers took a rest in all departments today, in other words they failed miserably in their duties to entice and manipulate their Flies and their Lures to attract my Noble Salmon or the mighty specimen Sea Trout of Lough Currane. Wind NW fresh with heavy April Showers in May.
13/5/14 My words of wisdom yesterday beard fruit, so lets get down to the action. First in the striking zone was Mr. Dave Eccelstone of the UK and Waterville, who caught a fine 9 lbs Salmon on the fly, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan of www.vincentsfishing.com now we cut across to the North shore and the trolling department, Mr. Brod Sullivan and his good friend caught a fine 8 lbs on the troll, sorry have no photo which is a pity, there was also a fresh 5 lbs Salmon caught on the troll by Mr. Michael Shultz of Berlin Germany, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com and the action didn’t stop there, On the Commeragh River Mr. Mike Teahan the Matador of Waterville caught a fine 9 lbs Salmon on the Black Birds Fancy. Wind NNW light with good cloud cover.
14/5/14 Straight to the gossip department, and for good reason! Rumours were going around, that great and renowned Gillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan has lost his touch, well you want to go back to the drawing board and think again Lads, because Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan of www.vincentsfishing.com and his client Mr. Dave Eccelstone of the UK and Waterville, were in good form again with another fine Salmon in the 8 ½ lb. class caught on the fly, 2 Salmon in 24 hours not bad what, lost it my foot. Just for the record Vincent’s and Dave’s photos were taken by fellow Angler Mr. Ken Towner of the UK and Waterville. Wind W light variable with reasonable cloud cover with light drizzle at times.
