Ghillie Vincent Appleby reports on the salmon and sea trout fishing in the past week on Lough Currane:
02/09/15 Straight to the action in the Salmon department, UK angler Mr. John Fielding, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught a fine 12 lbs Salmon on the troll and finished their day off with 3 fine Sea Trout ranging from Junior class up to 3 lbs. and just for the record all the Sea Trout were put back to fight the elements of the spawning streams. Now to the C&R fly department, Mr. David Burton of the UK, fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com caught 3 Sea Trout to his rod, ranging from Junior class up to 3 lbs. Now to the evening shift, this evening Mr. Liam Ellis and Mr. John Holsted, caught a fine 5 ½ lbs. Sea trout, which was sportingly put back to fight another day. Now to the apology department, on the 29/08/15 I went to the Higher lakes where there was some great fishing but when it came to the reporting or I should say the spelling of the anglers good names I failed miserably in my duties so lets put the record straight and I will let the plaintiffs put the record straight in their words. Hi, great report however both names mentioned were misspelled. Matt Whiteley should be Matt Whitelaw and Tony Gibbins should be Toby.
03/09/15 The only angler to register with his fly rod was UK Angler Mr. David Burton, while fishing with his gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com caught 1 Junior, which was sportingly put back and for the rest of the angling community there was no comment. Wind NNW light with reasonable cloud cover.

04/09/15 Straight to World Famous Butler’s Pool and at www.watervillegolflinks.ie Mr. Noel Clancy of Kildare and Waterville, caught a fine 6lbs. Salmon on the fly. Staying with www.watervillegolflinks.ie in their backdate department yesterday 03/09/15 Mr. Charles Moore caught a fine 6 lbs. Salmon on a Silver Stoat fly. Now we head upstream to Lough Currane, again its to the backdate department, yesterday, Local Gillie Mr. John Quinlin of http://www.thatchcottageireland.co.uk/ and his two hired out boats, fishing out of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught 7 Sea Trout on the drift, ranging from Junior class up to 3 lbs. Now to today’s action or the lack of it I should say, my Noble Game fish were as lethargic as my Noble Anglers, especially at their end of their day’s manipulation. Wind ENE light with reasonable cloud cover.
05/09/15 We start in the C&R hired out boat department of www.lakelandshouse.com Mr. Donal Doherty and Mr. D.J. Riordan of Killarney caught 8 Sea Trout, ranging from Junior class up to 3 lbs. and all sportingly put back. Now we cut across the Lake to the North side and the Bungalow and staying in the C&R department, Mr. Fergal Keane and Mr. Roderick Roach, fishing with their Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught 3 Sea Trout the best of which weighed in at 3 lbs. Now for quote of the day and that goes to Local Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com the paparazzi text all the Gillie’s that there wouldn’t be any photos by the paparazzi and for good reason, he was in North Kerry for the day and his reply was as follows, Don’t worry we are committed to C&R department. Wind North East light with bright sunshine all day.

06/09/15 Lough Currane was like a Millpond and my Noble Anglers scored nil from the pond, if there was some reel action they failed miserably in their duties in the reporting their catches so remember its not what Lough Currane and the Waterville Fishery can do for you, its what you can do for Lough Currane and the Waterville Fishery and the local business. Wind as already stated with bright sunshine all day. Now a Message from www.loughcurrane.com

www.loughcurrane.com07/09/15 Again Lough Currane was like a Mill pond for the majority of the day and in the words of Local gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com in a text message sent at 14.21pm, its looking unlikely that photographs will be required this evening, unless these fish have a dramatic change of heart, well thankfully for his client, Mr. David Burton, did see a bit of action this evening, he caught 2 Juniors which were sportingly put back and considering all the elements were against my Noble Angler’s, David and his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com did well and for the rest of the angling community it was all quiet on the SW front. The wind eventually did get up late this evening from the South with bright sunshine all day.
08/09/15 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong SE wind. We start in the hired out boat department of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] Marc’s Fly Fishing Team from Belgium, caught 3 Sea Trout, their weights are as follows 2 lbs. 3lbs. and 5 lbs. Now we head West up the North Shore to the Bungalow and www.oshealoughcurrane.com UK anglers James and Tom Marriot, fly fishing with their Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught 4 Sea Trout ranging from Juniors up to 5 lbs. That’s your ration on today’s Salmon and Sea Trout News.
That is your ration from the opening days on Lough Currane, from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
