Vincent Appleby reports on another quiet week for anglers fishing Lough Currane…

16/2/2023 In the words of one Currane angler and I quote? No boats out this day and my quote of the day, if your not out there, there is no chance of you catching My Noble Gentleman the Wild Atlantic Salmon. Wind WSW fresh and overcast. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall was 17mm.

17/2/23 Local Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com  reports that there were 3 boats out and very quiet in all departments as the Wild Atlantic Salmon laid dormant. Wind W and veered SW fresh to strong and overcast.

18/2/2023 The Wild Atlantic Salmon had a day of peace and quiet as the Lough Currane anglers preferred to sit on their laurels, need I say more. Wind WNW fresh with good cloud cover.

19/2/2023 All quiet on the SW front. Wind SW fresh and overcast followed by light misty rain.

20/2/2023 Local Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com Reports on today’s manipulations and I quote, there were 4 boats out and all was quiet. Wind fresh SW and overcast all day followed by misty rain.

21/2/2023 Lough Currane Salmon reels and my Noble angers were all quiet, so quiet in fact one couldn’t even hear the sound of a Yamaha, need I say more. Wind SSW and veered SW fresh, average wind speed 30 Km/h gusts up to 50 Km/h Just for the record the wind veered again this evening into the NW light to fresh and overcast all day followed by misty rain.

22/2/2023 Just one Currane angler out on this freezing cold day and that was Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com and Domonic wasn’t out long before his reel started singing the Wild Atlantic 11 ¼ lbs. Salmon National Anthem and Dominic was telling me he had a good battle with his first Salmon of 2023, all I can say is may it be the first of many. Wind NNE light to fresh followed by a few heavy showers.
