Vincent Appleby reports from Lough Currane…
29/5/19 Before we head out on Lough Currane there is breaking News on the Big 50 and I’m not talking of Hawaii Five-o either, because Tomorrow night in the Sea Lodge Waterville a certain and renowned Currane angler is celebrating his 50th Birthday and cast off is at 8.30pm and everyone is welcome, so Book Em Danno! Currane Angler, Mr. Graham Robertson of the UK while fishing with his gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea of www.oshealoughcurrane.com caught a fine Sea Trout on the fly and for the rest of the Currane anglers it was all quiet on the SW front. Wind W light to fresh and overcast and followed by showers at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall, 6.9 mm. Maximum air temperature 13. 9 c.
30/5/19 All the Salmon headlines come from the West End of Lough Currane, local Currane angler celebrated today’s manipulations in style by catching a fine Grilse on the troll and considering it was fairly wild out there with a strong wind from the West, he did well. Wind as already stated and overcast with rain this evening. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 5.2 mm. Maximum air temperature 14.6 c.
31/5/19 The Currane anglers had a tough time of it in all departments and for good reason, they had to battle a strong wind from the SW this morning, come afternoon it calmed down and that’s when the Currane Angler struck a fine 8 ½ lbs. Salmon caught on the troll and that was his ration and for the rest of the Currane anglers it was all quiet on the SW front. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 2.4 mm. Maximum air temperature 16.c.
1/6/19 Straight to the Salmon department, a Currane angler fishing on his own caught a fine 9lbs. Salmon on the troll and on that note we will head for the C&R ST Index. C&R Sea Trout Currane angler, Mr. William Christie was in good form with his fly rod today, while fly fishing with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com caught two Sea Trout ranging from 2 ½ lbs. Up to 3 ½ lbs. and as you can see by the pictures by www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com and for the rest of the Currane Anglers it was all quiet on the SW front. Wind SE light and overcast. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 15.2 c.
2/6/19 It was a wild day with a strong SW wind blowing plus heavy showers but this didn’t deter the Currane anglers from venturing out, sadly there were no takers this Sunday Bank Holiday weekend. Yesterday’s weather. Amount of rainfall 13.8 mm. Maximum air temperature 15.9 c.
3/6/19 The Lough Currane anglers rods, reels, flies and lures were all quiet on the SW front on this Bank Holiday Monday. Talking of the SW, that’s exactly where the wind was coming from, overcast with showers at times. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 14.8 c.
4/6/19 All the Salmon News headlines comes from the hired out boat department of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] Currane Angler, Mr. Charlie Clifton of Dublin and fishing out of www.butlerarms.com caught a fine 5 lbs. Grilse on the troll and for the rest of the Currane anglers their reels and phones were all quiet on all fronts. Wind North light to fresh with reasonable cloud cover and followed by the odd shower. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 3.0mm. Maximum air temperature 13. 9c.
