Ghillie/Guide Vincent Appleby  is pleased that in between the stormy weather anglers are catching fish, earlier in the week he gives them a wake up call to get out there and fish, fish, fish.  He reports from the Currane:

20/02/2014 : Where do I start, well the least said the soonest mended, you lazy articles, how the hell do you expect Lough Currane to keep its international angling reputation if your not out there manipulating and I am sad to say that I am as guilty as the rest of you, so get off your laurels’  and get out there and fly the flag of the wild North Atlantic Salmon. Wind SW fresh with heavy showers, amount of rainfall yesterday 16.3 mm.

21/02/2014: Yesterdays words of wisdom, brought the anglers out onto Lough Currane today and it wasn’t long before Mr. Noel Clancy of Waterville and Dublin caught a fine 8 lbs Salmon on the troll along the North Shore, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Sion Brain of www.kbfishingireland.com and as soon as they dispatched my Noble Salmon they headed straight for the Waterville Inn to receive the Paddy Carey Cup which was presented to Mr. Noel Clancy by Martha, and just for the record Noel’s Gillie was also telling me that they also caught a Kelt. Wind WSW fresh with showers.

22/02/2014: In the words of  renowned Gillie Mr. Sion Brain of www.kbfishingireland.com  here are his notes, and I quote, A visit to remember. Yesterday morning noel got 4 kelts. At three o clock Sion joined him and we got a Kelt and a fresh 8 lbs Salmon trolling. Today we fished south side and we got 4 kelts trolling in morning and got 5 kelts fly fishing. Our day finished off with a beautiful 9 lbs bar of silver on the fly. It was landed at 2:30 and we were in just in time for the match. Wind SW strong and overcast.

23/02/2014: Lough Currane was on the wild side for most of the day, so my Nobel anglers had a good excuse to head for the bar. Wind SW fresh to strong, plus there was heavy cloud with heavy showers.

That is your ration for the week on Lough Currane, from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
