Vincent Appleby reports from Lough Currane…

16/9/20 The Curran drifters had a hard day of it and for good reason, there was little wind to talk off, plus it was very humid at 91% followed by bright sunshine at times. So, one can say without any fear of contradiction, the Currane fly anglers are completely exonerated this day, need I say more! Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 20.1 centigrade.

17/9/20 Wind Southeast light to fresh and sadly there was no feast this day for the Currane drifters. Wind as already stated with bright sunshine throughout day, humidity 96%. Yesterday’s weather, maximum air temperature 20.8 centigrade.
