Vincent Appleby reports from a very quiet Lough Currane:
8th June: All the head lines go to French Angler’s Mr. Deculty Thibaut and Mr. henri-Anntoine Chazalet of Annonay France and for good reason they caught a fine lightening fresh 4 ½ lbs. Salmon Grilse on the troll. Wind light SW with bright sunshine all day and very warm.
9th June: Lough Currane was on the quiet side in all departments, even though there was a nice light SE wind with good cloud cover and very warm and humid, with light rain this evening.
10th June: All quiet on the SW front in all departments. Wind West and light with the odd light shower. Now a message to all you Noble Anglers that come down to Lough Currane for the weekend, don’t forget if you catch a basket of fish, please dispatch your catches to 087 2074882.
11th June: What can you say about the Lough Currane pro Anglers and amateurs, its simple they are failing miserably in all arts of game fishing ie Wet fly, Dry fly and dapping the fly and trolling, last but not least the Black Birds Fancy, so as you can imagine their topic of conversation as they drink their pints this evening was on their failures of the day and if its not, it dam well it should be. Wind South and light with good cloud cover with misty rain throughout the day.
12th June: Here are the Salmon and Sea Trout results from the Waterville Fishery, Salmon and Sea Trout won, my Noble Anglers lost and failed miserably in their duties in all departments. Wind West light with good cloud cover.
13th June: Killarney Angler Mr. Kevin Lavery, was in great form in the trolling department, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com caught a fine lightening fresh 4 lbs. Salmon / Grilse on the troll. Now to the fly C&R department, UK Angler, Mr. Mark Knowles, caught a 3 lbs. Grilse this morning and in Mr. Mark Knowles, fly backdate department, yesterday, he had two C&R Salmon ranging from 4 lbs. up to 5 lbs. Wind NW fresh and overcast with showers.
14th June: South African Angler, Peter, caught and released a fine 3 lbs. Sea Trout on the fly, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com. Mark Knowles caught 4 Grilse and 1 Sea Trout, all on the fly and all C&R. Wind NW fresh with good cloud cover.
That is your ration from the last week on Lough Currane, from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
