Vincent Appleby reports from Lough Currane

26/2/20 There were four Currane boats out and sadly Matthew, Mark, Luke and John tried their best to break the ice in the fly and troll departments but sadly their prayers weren’t answered. Wind West light with good cloud cover with the odd shower. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 5.8 mm. Maximum air temperature 7.7.c.

27/2/20 Great news at last and I’m sure you all know the Currane ice is broken, so straight to the Wild Atlantic trolling department and the hired out boat department of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com  Wexford and Lough Currane Angler Mr. Michael McCormack, caught a cracker of a 14 lbs, Salmon on the troll, so congratulations to Michael for catching the first Lough Currane Salmon of 2020 and may it be the first of many. Staying in the trolling department and renowned Cahersiveen and Currane Angler Mr. Stephen Donnelly, caught a fine 8 lbs. Salmon with his good friend Mike. Wind WSW light to calm with reasonable cloud cover. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 2.6mm. Maximum air temperature 7.7c.

28/2/20 Lough Currane was on the wild side with a strong SW wind blowing, going by the Currane detective agency, one boat did venture out, but no news is good news, so on that note we head back to yesterday’s notes to the apology department and for good reason, I failed miserably in my duties to report that Wexford Angler Mr. Michael McCormack was fishing out of www.thecrescentwaterville.ie and Robert of The Crescent can have the last say and I quote, Good to see our returning guest, who stays with us at the Crescent B+B for catching the first Salmon on the Lough Currane in 2020, again well done Michael.  Wind SW west Strong and overcast. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall 1.4 mm. Maximum air temperature 8.6 c.
