24/2/2023 www.fishingwithdom.com reports on today’s manipulations on Lough Currane and I quote, 4 boats out and all quiet. Wind NNE light followed by good cloud cover.
25/2/2023 There were four boats out this day and for all their reels were slack and silent. Wind ENE light followed by bright sunshine all day.
26/2/2023 There were four boats out this day and for all their efforts the Wild Currane Atlantic Salmon stayed dormant. Wind ESE fresh followed by good cloud cover.
27/2/2023 It was reported to me today that a lot of Currane and none Currane anglers are under the impression that the Waterville Fishery i.e. The Butler Pool, Lough Currane, the Commeragh River and Upper lakes are still under the Brown Tag rule, I can assure you this is incorrect and thankfully we are a Blue tag fishery. Now to today’s manipulations, well I can say there was no blue tagged Wild Salmon caught today. Just for the record there were 5 boats out. Wind SSE light to fresh followed by reasonable cloud cover.
28/2/2023 Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com reports on today’s proceedings, there were four boats out and their reels stayed cold. Wind ENE light and overcast.
1/3/2023 All quiet on the SW front in all departments. Wind ENE light and variable followed good cloud cover and cold.
