Vincent Appleby gives a round up of the fishing on Lough Currane where anglers can target seatrout until 12 October…
2/10/14 There was a strong SW wind blowing down the lake and very few boats ventured out. 3 to be precise and there was only one boat that manipulated their rod during the day with some fine action and then let his fingers do the talking in the evening and that was UK angler Mr Rob Elson, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com caught 7 Sea Trout, ranging from Junior Class up to 3lbs. Wind as already stated and overcast.
3/10/14 There was a light Westerly blowing down the lake with heavy rain at times, but this didn’t deter, Trevor, from catching 2 Trout on the drift, while fishing with his Gillie MD Esq. Just for the record Trevor was fishing out of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] Now we cut across the Lake to the South Side and the hired out Boat Department of www.lakelandshouse.com and their backdate department, Renée and Jean Louis from France, caught 12 Sea Trout, ranging from Juniors up to 3 lbs. over 3 days and staying in www.lakelandshouse.com backdate department, Mr. Steve Cloake, fishing with his Gillie Mr. John Murphy caught 16 Sea Trout, ranging from Juniors up to 3 ½ lbs. Just for the record these catches were caught in the past week.
4/10/14 There were a few boats manipulating and here are the reported results, Peter fishing out of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] caught 2 Trout with his Gillie MD. Now we head for the Bungalow, Mr. Enrico Fantasia of Dublin, caught 2 Trout, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com Now we head down the North shore to Vince’s Harbour, Trevor, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com caught 6 Sea Trout ranging from Juniors up to 3 lbs. Now we cut across to the South side and Coffees Bay, Mr. Denis O’Sullivan of Lake road Waterville, caught 3 Juniors. Wind was south first thing this morning and veered all over the place, but come afternoon it went into the NW and it was very cold out there going by the reports, so my Noble Anglers did well and I have spoken in the authority invested by myself.
5/10/14 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong SW blowing down the lake and here are the Lough Currane Sea Trout results. First in the striking zone was Mr. Enrico Fantasia of Dublin, who caught 1 Sea Trout to his rod and in the words of his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com it was wild out there and bad. Staying with the North Shore. Mr. Peter Ruffle, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.comalso caught 2 Trout to his rod. Back to the weather just for the record it made a fair bit of rain today, it will be interesting to see how much rain fell, but remember one has to take into account we had a long dry spell and because of this the land will take a fair bit before we will get the benefit, will give the facts as soon as they are on line.
6/10/14 There was only one angler that was in the rod bending zone today and that was Mr. Peter Ruffle, who caught 6 Trout, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy ofwww.fishingwithdom.com and for the rest of the Angling community they either failed miserably in procuring my Noble Sea Trout, or what is more lightly they failed to let their fingers do the talking at the end of their days manipulation. On the weather front there was reasonable cloud cover with the odd shower plus a mixture of hailstone and the amount of rainfall yesterday was 30.8 mm.
7/10/14 Straight to the Lough Currane premiership Sea Trout results. Mr. Andrew Brown caught 6 Trout to his rod, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley. Now we head down the North Shore and head into the Bungalow. Mr. Dermot Devereux, while fishing with his gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught 5 Sea Trout, ranging from Juniors up to 3 lbs. Now we head out of the bungalow and down to Vince’s Harbour, Mr. Phil Staniforth caught 4 Trout to his rod, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy ofwww.fishingwithdom.com Wind WSW fresh and overcast with heavy rain this evening.
8/10/14 There was Fork Lightening and Thunder and two lightening conductors, at least one boat saw some action. Mr. Mark Doormen was in good form with his carbon fiber fly rod with 3 Sea trout, ranging from Junior class up to 2 lbs, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley and you can say without any fear of contradiction they brought their fellow anglers down to earth. One Gillie text me, too many flashes, all I can say to that is, they were dam lucky they weren’t electrocuted. Wind W strong this morning and calmer in the afternoon with heavy showers throughout the day.
That is your ration for the week on Lough Currane, from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
