29/4/15 There was great action on Lough Currane today and I’ll leave the catch of the day to last. Tim O’Connor of Cork and Waterville, caught a fine fresh Salmon in the 7 lbs. class, caught on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com
Now we head for the fly department, Mr. Phil Staniforth of the UK caught a fine 8 lbs. Salmon on the fly and as his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy ofwww.fishingwithdom.com dispatched Phil’s Salmon, Dominic said, well Phil that’s your lot for today? That’s what you think said Phil, you get on the fly rod and I’ll get on the oars and fair play to Phil he did and it wasn’t long before Dominic had his fly rod bent double into a fine Salmon of 8 lbs. which Phil gladly Netted. Wind NW strong with good cloud cover with April showers.
30/4/15 The trolling department takes the headlines and first in the striking zone was local Gillie Mr. Eric Jouen of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] who caught a fine 9 lbs. Salmon on the troll out at the Sisters.
Staying with the trolling, Mr. Tom Farrer of the UK and fishing out of www.butlerarms.com caught his first ever 12 lbs. Salmon on Lough Currane, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com and may it be the first of many, I can tell you Tom and his good friend Mr. James Henchey of the UK were having a good celebration with their Gillie in the Lobster Bar this evening. Wind light to calm SE this morning, then veered SW light with good cloud cover.
That is your ration for this week, from your Ghillie/Guide and the Waterville fishery.
