Vincent Appleby reports on the opening day at Lough Currane…
17/01 Great to be back on the no spin no flys just facts zone. A very happy new year to you all and tight lines for 2015. Now today’s facts, well there isn’t any and for good reason. My Noble Anglers couldn’t produce my Noble Gentlemen the Salmon. Just for the record there were a few kelts caught, there were 12 boats manipulating. Wind, there was no wind to talk of, but it was cold. On that note my Noble Anglers will be heading for the Waterville Inn for a good opening night with good music and good food and spot prizes.
18/01 Second day and the countdown is still on and yes you have it with 4 boats out and all failed in my Noble Salmon department. Wind light north with bright sunshine.
19/01 Here is your weather report for today, raining all day or as good as, with a fresh Southerly wind blowing and what boats were out didn’t let their fingers do the talking. Why do I say this? Even if they caught a Noble spent Salmon, it would make better reading in my opinion? What do you say my Noble readers?
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.

Kayak Angler manages seatrout on opening day
Brian McCall repots that Ian Burton and his father of IrishKayakAngling.com took to Currane in hopes of a salmon, but settled for seatrout…
After the Storms midweek, snow and rain, getting out on kayaks was going to be a rare opportunity. But a few of our members did get out.
Ian Burton, our winner of last years species hunt, with a massive haul of 50 species from salt and freshwater, along with his father made it out on the opening day on Lough Currane and between them managed 2 sea trout, one brown trout and a returning kelt. All fish caught were released after a quick picture to return again someday and give another angler a great experience.
The club are running two big competitions this year side by side. The individual species hunt competition and the all new team hunt event. Follow all the action on the site www.irishkayakangling.com or our facebook page
